$ git push heroku master, opened his website, and exclaimed "I love Ruby!". Then as if
inside of Pee-wee’s Playhouse he heard a voice
say: “If you love Ruby so much why don’t you marry her?”. So on December 25th, he got down on one

"I don’t have time to contribute to open source". But who does? We’re too busy shipping products and open source is so daunting and time consuming. Sure tools and technologies are our livelihood, but there’s just so much there. Even if you’ve got the time - where do you start?
