# The Cult Of Rails

24 October 2006 · Ray Slakinski

I'm starting to think that Ruby on Rails is a cult and quickly becoming a religion.  It even has its own list of commandments like "Thou shall not write code until I have a test for it" and "Thou shall not repeat thyself"   It even has its own leaders like David Heinemeier Hansson that are listened more closely than any evangelist on TV.   I don't really have a point to this blog post, its just an observation.  I'm a card carrying member of the cult and proud of it :)
