It ain't over, baby. You still can! There are still plenty of great apps to be built. And Rails -- warts and all -- is a great tool to build those apps. "Building a highly modularized app that supports several integrations", etc. is somewhat orthogonal to making services that solve problems for people. That stuff can come later... if you're lucky enough to hit Twitter scale. :) -- Patrick -- SD Ruby mailing list [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/sdruby
