What David Heinemeier Hansson actually said

  1. David Heinemeier Hansson Creator of Ruby on Rails, CTO of 37signals
    We do not have to accept that these computers that are literally a trillion times faster than what sent us to the freaking moon have to take 42 minutes before they're ready after you unbox it. No, unreasonable. These computers are so damn fast, they should feel damn fast.
