Disclaimer: I am a web developer, so these criticisms include myself.

I feel like so many folks (me included) in the web development community are constantly re-learning new (old) techniques that we all really should have realized long before now.

Though I don't think I would change a thing as I've learned a lot over the past decade that I probably never would have if it not for this community.

Sometimes I just get a sense of deja vú, like none of this is new...

This whole "Unicorn" business for example. I read about this last week, and thought to myself, "Ok... hasn't Apache been doing this with 2.0 for years?"

So isn't this just re-implementing the wheel... yet again, but in Ruby?
