All of a sudden I want to know Ruby. That's mainly because I discovered a project to which I'd love to contribute, and in more than just a small way. But that project is in Ruby. That's not gonna change.
This morning when I woke up I was some kind of React / .Net developer; have been for years, maybe twelve. Done lotsa PHP in the day too, a fair amount of Python. Picked up niche languages here or there. Mostly forgotten. Or did I ever really know them?
I'd even written a few lines of Ruby back when I was a contractor in D.C. At agile code meetups mostly. I'd thought the language was really cool and interesting actually. But didn't find it in demand nearby, where as C#, Java, PHP and then later JS and Node were always knocking.
But I want to do this one project. So this time I'm going to do the knocking.
I plan to start this way
Tonight — come the wee hours of the morning, after hours of obsessive binging on Ruby tutorial videos on double speed — well, by then I'll still be some kind of React / .Net developer.
But I'll also know some Ruby.
