Blaine and the guys at Twitter just released Starling as a gem. Starling is Twitters code and messaging system that they use in production across their clusters:
“Starling is a light-weight persistent queue server that speaks the MemCache protocol. It was built to drive Twitter’s backend, and is in production across Twitter’s cluster.”

Rails is a ghetto? Zed Shaw goes to war with Rails and the Rails community

Damn, he sure does go to town with this one. I didn’t know things were so messed up for him regarding Rails. Its a real shame to see him want to leave so bad cause the guy is brilliant and we all love Mongrel. It is almost hard to believe some of it but then again I’ve heard a whole lot of stuff about the Rails core team.
Its a long, PISSED OFF rant, but entertaining none-the-less. I’m not sure just what to say about it all yet but I have to say the best part is the DHH part where he said they used to need 400 restarts a day!!
