“My name is Andy. On the 29th of May I was hit by a motorcycle while biking to work and broke my right arm at my wrist, elbow and shoulder. Unfortunately, I’m right-handed. To my right are my ongoing attempts to teach myself to adequately draw as a leftie.”

Steve Yegge ported Rails to JavaScript

“In an effort to increase developer productivity at Google, Steve tried to convince the company to adopt Rails (and consequently Ruby) as a programming language. When that fell on deaf ears (Google really does not want to increase the number of languages that must be supported by their infrastructure), Steve decided to do what any other frustrated programmer would do: he ported Rails to JavaScript. Line by line. In 6 months. Working 2000 hours. Steve is a coding stud.”
