</div>Part of the problem is the bandwagon jumping. I find that Ruby has a strong<br>
set of ascetic values, partly innate, partly driven by central figures in<br>
the community. This isn't always embraced, let alone understood by the<br>
MyLinkedSpaceBookersGoldRushLetsDoItInRails wave of immigration. I've seen<br>
CVs headed PHP/Ruby on Rails developer almost as if they were synonymous.<br>
