Re:The 18-year-old Rubyist isn't a good programmer (Score 2)

I agreed with you right up until you started shitting all over Ruby on Rails. Yeah, I don't like Ruby on Rails. I don't like cream cheese either, but I'm not going to twist the topic into a discussion about cream cheese. Yes, young programmers who don't know anything are stupid and annoying, I agree. I also agree that stupid and annoying programmers propose a web app for everything. One of my teachers, a ten year+ programmer, recommended doing a web app for everything, and he was in his late 30's. The problem with those who want to create a web app for every problem isn't that the programmers are young, it's that those specific programmers are stupid, or don't want to learn anything new. It's like using a hammer to cut wood. If it's the only tool you know, you'll make it work, but the result will be fucking ugly.
