Without relevant quotations, these posts are just ramblings better suited to a blog of your own.

Tell me more about the requirements/presumptions/constraints that lead you to believe you *have* to use Windows, and we can figure out if any of them are really the show-stoppers you feel they appear at first glance; because my professional recommendation is that you try to avoid Windows for development of Rails projects if at all possible. > That means learning OSs, languages and technologies that you have no love > for. Please don't tell me what I *have* to do. I certainly don't *have* to do or work with things I have no love for. I'm perfectly capable of turning down requests for work if they don't fit with what I prefer (whether that's the technology in use, or the ethics of the company the work is for). > I have no love for <some technologies>. But ... I'm your man. No you're not. If I need one of those technologies, my man is someone who loves them. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
