From the "Video Archives"^(\[1\])
The year is 2005 and DHH just announced the official release of Rails 1.0!

You get Scriptaculous 1.5 and Prototype 1.4 when you update, too. Just run:
`$ rake update_javascripts`
..then restart webrick/FastCGI.

15 years!
I was writing PHP and Java when I learned about Rails on slashdot. My life and career was forever changed.
I can’t believe it’s been 15 years!
DHH nailed it with the blog screencast. Many of us saw that while banging our heads against enterprise Java with its scores of XML configs and layers just to get a Hello World running. This guy comes along and confidently stands up a working blog from scratch in a few minutes!
hold on that’s not DHH on the video is it???
