> They don’t teach rails at uni. So straight off the bat it eliminates that large segment of people inspired by the dot-com bubble to get IT degrees to earn good bucks. Java and .NET developers are a dime a dozen.
Yep, just because you know a certain framework (not even a language, a freaking framework) means that you can pass judgement on how valuable every Java and .NET developer is. This guy obviously doesn't have a clue about what he's talking about. They don't teach any other framework at most universities. It's assumed you can learn that stuff on your own. Just because you went and learned Rails doesn't make you automatically a programming superstar.
