When I got introduced to web development, through Rails, the drama of the day was probably turbolinks. I learnt from our instructor that many people hated it, and we promptly removed the turbolinks gem from the gemfile every time we initialised a new project. I was far too new to go dig up controversies. I regarded names such as DHH, Matz, _why, Aaron Patterson, Jeremy Ashkenas, or Sandi Metz as so infinitely smarter than me, that I could not even begin to comprehend them directly.

I'm saying all this to point out that when someone is introduced to web development, they are often so awed, humbled and overwhelmed that twitter dramas are far from their minds.
