Software is a creative endeavor and a craft. And like any creative endeavor and any craft, it is subject to fashions.

Some of these applications are now up for their Rails upgrade and an “oil change,” and it’s interesting to see them in the wild and how they get perceived through the lens of the years that have gone by since then.
