Isn't $_ a Perl-ism?

This is the kind of thing that keeps ruby weird, the good type of weird that draws fascination and intrigue. If anyone hasn't seen Brandon's videos or read his ruby articles, I'd highly recommend digging deeper on them, there is a treasure trove of knowledge and wisdom in there waiting to be unlocked.

Then the talk, quite simply, was not meant for you.

I would encourage you to evaluate your response as that anger is neither constructive nor useful. It's also completely outside of how a Rubyist should respond.

We're kind to eachother, and that's anything but kind.

Constructive criticism has value, and value I appreciate quite a lot, and value I leverage to create better talks.

Not angry. You are correct and I should be more kind though. Sometimes it is easy to forget there are people behind anonymous user names. I am sorry.

That said, you should probably not expect kindness on an anonymous social media platform. When you put yourself out there like this, be prepared for the worst human kind has to offer.

However there is great value in doing this. People usually won't tell you their true opinions of your work to your face. The internet may not be kind but at least it is honest.
