Urban Legends: What You Code Makes You Who You Are
summary
Claims counter common myths with concrete examples: Ruby ≠ Rails and large companies like Zendesk Hulu and Twitter run Ruby at scale; PHP runs 80% of the web and now supports objects so speed and security complaints reflect code not language; Spotify uses Python for a “boiling frogs” music-link algorithm that finds ten-song connections (Carly Rae Jepsen → Amon Amarth); small Python scripts move funds to gettips; Linux powers airlines’ entertainment systems, so these tools demonstrably work.
