The winning factor is that the “Keep It Simple” philosophy being gone through the language, framework and the application.
- Happily fixed a small web project written in Ruby on Rails by a novice team. Cut the LOC from 7600 to 5500 while bring significant feature & performance improvements.

- Following the RailsCasts and Ruby5 news keep me exciting about the community growth with the contribution from lots of clever guys here.
