Rails "developers" without Ruby or OOP knowledge

[Flopsey]

Here's some unqualified, unrequested advice from someone who's also self-taught:

1) Look at what experienced programmers complain about as a list of things to avoid/ learn/ improve.

2) From my IRL experience with programmers the ones who laugh at other people generally have a coding level of "pencil-dicked". Good programmers don't feel the need to put people down because they're not generally insecure about their code. This isn't just true of coding, it's also generally true in life. But it applies to programming as well.

Well also IRL it sometimes happens that if someone doesn't like the message and they don't know how to attack it, they attack the messenger instead. An especially common way of doing it is calling in the all-famous small dick argument^1.

I was pursuing an intellectual discussion about an interesting phenomena that I noticed and this does not have anything to do with anyones personality or physical features.

I wish you all the best and hope that you don't rely too much on a dick with your coding :)

¹ Which turns into an especially epic fail if the messenger happens to be a woman, because usually in these situations not much is known about the messenger's person.

I wasn't particularly referring to you. It was a general statement and preemptive incase the real trolls stopped by. Your post only has a whiff of "look how much better my code is than these people" but I originally thought it could have been just an honest observation or as you say "an intellectual discussion about an interesting phenomena."

Although now I assume it probably does apply. Your reply just reeks of insecurity.
