Rails always annoys me. For something that’s the Web 2.0 poster-child, highly lauded as Awesome(TM), the solution to world hunger, etc, it’s a right bloody pain in the arse to get going with. Opinion, of course, entirely my own.

I’m still in that transition. In fact I’d place myself definitely at the start of the journey. I’m cool with Ruby. Ruby’s pretty nice. It takes me a while to switch gears from Perl and Python, but I get it. It’s just Rails that makes me want to hurt things.
