## From the post on ruby.social

The amazing @yujiyokoo gave a piece of advice that is also a way of life:

Yuji has been doing cool things with #Ruby for a very long time, and after that long you learn that the trend will move on and the thing you actually wanted to build will not. A fox nods, ignores the latest trends entirely, and goes back to making something weird for his #SEGA #megadrive / #genesis.
