This site is my way of giving something back to the open source community, especially the Ruby community. Over the years, I've taken a lot of software from the 'Net. That software isn't just software, written by devoted and often proud people, but it is a set of building blocks with which other programmers build their software. Like Sir Isaac Newton said: "If I have seen further than others, it is only because I was standing on the shoulders of giants".


It feels good to let software evolve that way. Don't start from scratch, but take something that almost does what you want it to do and take that to a higher level. And give that level back to the people who built the first seven levels. That's fair.
