The mere existence of that website makes me wonder if being part of the Rails community is really something to strive for...

I like the idea of the site. In principle, it should be a useful way to pick a Rails contractor.

Unfortunately, it ends up looking like a popularity contest to a lot of people. I'm not sure how that can be avoided.

Yeah, I only looked at the linked page with the rankings, no idea about the context.

Being ranked second, and only behind the creator of the framwork cannot be all that bad.

Is my code hot or not?

Thats just sad

Funny idea though.

yeah that site is the to the shame of the creators. Def a popularity contest. .rb

???

Didn't DHH invent it? Zed Shaw always seemed like an unfunny Maddox. How could he be more popular? Why are they tracking popularity? Did Struts have an ongoing popularity contest?
