Well, I was searching the net for free rails books, and I came across this blog post, I am also currently reading a book called Rework (by Jason Fried and DHH from 37signals)
And this post strikes me as almost a complete opposite of what Rework preaches (for the lack of a better term), noting that I only read the first 100 pages (which are more like 30 pages considering the amount of whitespace and pictures in this book)
I am really falling in love with the ideas Rework teaches (is this a better term), and I believe that they fit more with my experience in life, which is something I didn't expect, considering I find DHH obnoxious. But I have to admit Rework is a great book
Now pointing back to the blog post in the link I shared, it's written by Obie Fernandez, which is also someone that I really don't like, I read a while ago another blog post by him, about how you should be a hustler and stuff to make it in life, and I guess he didn't change. Some people just like to do a little bit of all, and this I definitely admire, so I dislike Obie, but this doesn't mean he is a bad guy.
I guess the point here is, even thought Hashrocket and probably anything Obie touches, will be done using methods that are the exact opposites of how 37signals get work done. Both are successful, and apparently happy ... Perl was right all along TIMTOWTDI
