It's fun. You don't have to get offended. It's just a silly picture. No one was harmed in it's making. Stop wasting people's time, let them focus on productive aspects of the project.

I'm not offended in the slightest. Except by your misuse of the apostrophe. I agree that nobody was hurt in "it is making." Note that this is my idea of fun, and you don't have to be offended by it. The purpose of my comment was to point out that gender charged images are going to draw attention in the tech industry, and that is worth avoiding. I made no commentary that suggested the image was not fun, or was offensi…

The only time wasted is the complaining about a photo that is obvious to the intended audience. You are specifically nitpicking gender for no justifiable reason.

The project banner depicting a damsel in distress on the railway tracks is going to make some people twitch. I'd avoid that distraction by picking something gender neutral. My 2c.

Please explain: how is it fun exactly? Do you enjoy the image of a bound woman about to be hit by a train? Does your girlfriend / wife / mother find this image "fun"?

It is Swift on Rails. If it was Kanye on Rails no one would be offended to see a picture of a man on the railroad.

That's because Kanye is an asshole.

(By the way, I'm not offended by this)

Seivan, thanks. Yes, Rails "Omakase" is driving Swifton development. I'm not sure that protocols will help here, because Swifton supports before/after filter. Could you explain more your idea about how protocols could help here to implement actions with filters?

What do you mean by Rails Omakase? All I could find is a blog post by DHH saying that "Rails is Omakase." Is there more to it than that?

Others have given you good links behind the idea; I wrote a blog post about one of the ecosystem effects a while back: http://words.steveklabnik.com/rails-has-two-default-stacks

It's Taylor Swift. Come on.

Who's this Taylor Swift? I just "Spotified" her and got 0 results ;-)

The parent, as of now, is the only downvoted comment out of 44. It's not a rude nor a pointless comment, it's just some guy who, according to the "bros" is "not getting it". In my opinion, every downvote to the parent is proof that the tech world has an issue with gender diversity.

Seems to me like the real challenge in those framework (excepting performance, of course) will be in the orm component. Having a library that can query a db in a typesafe way is a must. Another will be in the concurrency patterns ( promises ? Coroutines ?, etc). But i get a great hope that they will succeed. Having a strong open source community will help. In fact, i'm so fed up with the sad state of uikit right now,…

I wonder if something like Realm.io will be adopted more widely https://realm.io/docs/swift/latest/

They seem to have adoption in some bigger companies, but I don't know if any of them are using the Swift version yet.

Parent comment is just trying to be helpful, and people are down voting it. The comment points to a legitimate concern so ... like all advice, take it or leave it, but I think it would be gracious to say thanks rather than pile on.

Also you really can't legally use the image of a performer without their permission, if you care abut such things.
