Gosh. Did I sensationalize that headline a little? Hey, I’m just trying to get a little attention around here.

My real point is that I have a lot of respect for David Heinemeier Hannson. In case you don’t know, he’s the genius behind Ruby on Rails. In my PHP work, I borrow|steal|swipe|pilfer|consume|embrace as many of the brilliant concepts in Ruby on Rails as possible. I’m grateful to Rails for elevating our Collective Consciousness.

One of the things I really like about Hannson is that he’s both opinionated and above the fray (you know what I mean by the fray—those bone-crunching flame wars between the ROR/Java/Python/.NET/PHP fundamentalists). Check out his recent open-minded post for an informed take on PHP.

You gotta like where this guy is coming from.
