Why the lucky stiff - The real RocknRolla

A week doesn't go by when all of a sudden I get intrigued by my laptop wallpaper and start searching about "why the lucky stiff", I am not a rubyist and never heard about _why before he went missing, for some reason it didn't intrigue or shocked me but brought a smile and tears in my face, I remember talking to my girl about _why that night and how I love him without knowing him, seeing his work. I didn't even know about "The poignant guide to ruby" and other _why's work, I just knew that he went by the name "Why the lucky stiff" and he deleted all his profiles, sites and disappeared. I just had this urgent need to talk, as I have deleted my profiles, blogs, IM logins with and without boiling thoughts of how nothing makes sense. Every now and then I relive _why on internet or just looking at my wallpaper (the nonconformist picture), here are some pictures of _why - The real RocknRolla. Leaving with opening lines of his rails conf talk 2006..

 


Ruby is so......... To code ruby is really to love, To feel passion, to feel pleasure, it stirs you inside so greatly, its such a beautiful language, also erotic i would say. Method calls striped, undressed of their parenthesis, chaining them together raw like... Just red ebullient jewel.
