A short 2010 parody sketch titled 'All The Cool Kids Use Ruby' about an absurd initial consultation. It is a spoof of tech-hype culture.
Used as a joke reference whenever the cool-kids-use-X trope comes up in technology threads.

Haha, hey guys, us Agile Ruby guys are so much cooler than those stupid people that don't use Apple MacBook Pros and chill at Starbucks. Sure, they write code and get things done while we talk about how awesome our Ruby code is, but hey, All the cool kids use ruby[1]. -- Send from my iPad [1] [VIDEO]
gar1t is the guy that blew up "cool kids". He is doing better than banning the phrase. He is making it ridiculous. [VIDEO]
I always try and push back on those beliefs, about reasonings why they believe it will be faster or more efficient than some other solution. I've found , if you could type cast those people, they would be a tech architect who only uses "web scale" items. (Relevant link: [VIDEO] )
