This doc and the Elixir doc don't really capture much imo. They are short and hardly get the origin stories told before ending. There isn't much to get excited about before they are over, and they feel kinda like they exist to stroke the egos of those appearing in the film, and not so much to show the community or more importantly the people outside of the community, how awesome these things are. Give me a 1.5 hour long doc on elixir and rails and get past the patting each other on the backs part and into the struggles over the years, switch back and forth between different uses at different shops, etc. Essentially, steal the format of Indie Game The Movie and I'll be more into these because I want there to be great docs about software


very different from my perception - from unusual davids approach was to how the rails team formed through Toby and the others, merging with that other frameworks... so many small bits of history that are hard to digg up anywhere

I wouldn't mind it being longer but it's great they were able to put it together
