		<description><![CDATA[The pseudonymous "Ed Johnson" over at HackNot has produced another bit of priceless satire entitled "Invasion of the Dynamic Language Weenies". It got me thinking about the language and technology fashions I've seen come and go over the last generation.

"Real Developers", it's said, take to MVC / rails environments like ducks to water. It's only the baby noobs who known nothing but ASP.NET who find themselves lost -- because they aren't deeply intimate with the HTTP protocol itself.]]></description>
