Talking a good game

Posted on November 30, 2006 by Nathan Powell

Periodically I check the ruby on rails site to see if it’s still written in PHP.  It is…http://rubyonrails.com/index.php

Most people go to http://rubyonrails.com/ and it looks fine, I type the index.php in there just to check that they still aren’t using rails.  I believe this is called spitting on your own dog food.

    Maybe they’re just retaining their old URLs, making sure nothing
    breaks???

    Hey, it’s possible!

    Well, it does have an X-Powered-By header for PHP…

    Another weird thing is if you add a / to the end of one of their URLs, you get the content without any styling:
    http://rubyonrails.com/quotes –> http://rubyonrails.com/quotes/

    Ah, yes — spitting on your own dog food. :)

    This is why we made a point to use Django in implementing djangoproject.com. The full source code is also available.
