If you can pick up the rudiments of Spanish or French in a couple of weeks, how hard could it be to get started with Ruby On Rails? He lost a bet to me and owed me some money and I told him, 'hey, go teach yourself Ruby On Rails. That led to a post on Hacker News offering to teach people how to develop in Ruby.

January has been a very bad month for Ruby on Rails developers, with two high-severity security bugs permitting remote code execution found in the framework and a separate-but-related compromise on rubygems.org, a community resource which virtually all Ruby on Rails developers sit downstream of. Many startups use Ruby on Rails.

Technical Co-Founders Are A Myth. Two years ago I got the bug to do an online recruiting startup and I began the hunt to find a technical co-founder - a software engineer who works for no cash - to help me build my dream website. I learned something: technical co-founders are a myth. Captain Recruiter. Real Advice. No Nonsense.

All they need is a technical founder… I’m not usually one to judge but based on the number of times I’ve been sworn to secrecy, it seems that these budding entrepreneurs place too high a premium on ‘ideas’ and not nearly enough on execution. A business founder should learn how to program because code is the language of the Internet.

The main goal with kids is just getting them earlier exposure to programming, getting them exciting about it, and making this stuff more approachable.
