Arrington hates Rails but wants Rails Hackers?

<i>You</i> should work at TechCrunch. You've mastered the sensationalist linkbait headline!

When did Arrington say he hated Rails?<p>And if he did, how can he have an opinion on Rails when AFAIK he's never written a line of code in his life?

Great title Sumon!<p>To anyone looking for a summer gig: come and work with Mark and me. We're two Rails dudes and we're having a grand ole time at TC.

Actually, I know Arrington was interested in Rails as early as July 2006. We had a serious conversation about using it for the first version of the job board. I argued for PHP and we settled on it -- at the time, Rails deployment was a PITA and he didn't have any other Rails apps, so why take on that hassle for a simple app?<p>Yeesh, I keep mentioning I build that job board here. It only took ten days from introduction to done, he just keeps coming up here.

Arrington never said he hated rails. I imagine he hates linkbait involving him though.

and imagine he paid for that!<p>come to think of it, he probably suggested this headline. This is a double winner for TC and Snaptalent -- exposure for both of them! TC to the hacker crowd, and more traffic for snap talent.

Arrington hates everything he doesn't own and at least half of what he does.
