I actually first found Ruby Monk by searching for "Perl Monk for ruby", so in a way, the name works to their advantage. I know that this site kept coming up on HN radar frequently (in the last year at least) on various occasions, and I am finally glad it has found its own steam at last. :-)
I found Sidu Ponnappa (the guy behind this) to be quite active on many areas/forums/discussion topics (Wonder where/how he finds the time (-: I mean it in a nice way). His blog has some very interesting writings/discussions as well. He's also very vocal about the ongoing state of Indian tech. entrepreneurship, which is quite rare in the current IT ecosystem in India.
I wish him all the very best with all his endeavours.
EDIT: Not associated with them in any way, although the founder appears collaboration worthy IMO ;-)
Wow. Thank you! That's quite a complement, and I'm grateful.
I should point out that much of what I say - or write about - are from conversations with my colleagues. I just happen to be the most vocal among us :)
