“"Confident"”

Heh. Describes a lot of the rails folks I've interacted with. There are things that are very good about Rails, and a lot of great things about Ruby, but the attitude can get on one's nerves.

On an unrelated Ruby topic:

One aspect I've grown to love and hate is the ease of creating DSLs in Ruby. The trouble is that because you can call a function as a bareword in Ruby, huge swaths of code are written where you can't tell if you're looking at a previously-unknown Ruby keyword, a Ruby method, a Rails method, or a method from some library-provided DSL. It makes reading others' code difficult sometimes.
