Dave Thomas Keynote - "Ruby Sucks and There is No Ruby Community"

by Derrick Parkhurst —

We just posted the video of Dave Thomas giving the Keynote at the recent Red Dirt Ruby Conference. He passionately talks about how Ruby’s weaknesses are also its strengths and how people and personal relationships are an important part of building and growing strong communities of programmers. Amazingly heart felt talk from a great speaker and thought leader.

Who in their right mind would pay $99 to buy the video? Do they just not want to make any sales? $99 is extortionate. Ridiculous.

$99 might sound less “extortionate” when you consider it’s for 22 videos (2 keynotes, 16 conference presentations, 4 training sessions). Beware though: “Purchase now and save. The price will go up on June 4th.”

$99 for any amount of keynotes is $99 too much.
