By the way, do you work there? You joined News.YC specifically to post this, as well as saying something subjective like "Worldwide team of expert rails support staff." is a bit suspicious.
If you do, that's great, I very much respect people who stand by their products. If you think I'm being unfair, call me on it. But please don't post anonymously. That's dishonest and disrespectful.
I apologize, I should have said that this is my startup. I've been a long time reader of new.yc but never felt the urge to post. But I am pretty excited about what we are doing and so I was compelled to respond.
My name is Ezra and my blog is http://brainspl.at if you have any interest in what I work on.
The most exciting thing about what we are doing wasn't really covered in this article. The real news is about our Rubinius(http://rubini.us) and Merb(http://merbivore.com) projects. We are trying to improve Ruby as a platform for everyone.
No problem - thanks for being so quick to clarify!
I didn't realise that Rubinius and Merb were Engine Yard projects. That's awesome. A lot of people have been bitching about stability and scalability with Rails, kudos for stepping up and actually doing something about it.

If you don't, false alarm. :)
