@cwebber Earnest and also deeply befuddled question:
Do you happen to know if this "Why" is the same "Why" who wrote "Why's? (Poignant) Guide to Ruby"?
(Seems very unlikely to be the same person—but I'm so out of the loop that this name confusion also feels like when people are excitedly talking about the Swedish metal band "Ghost" but I mistakenly think they're excitedly talking about the Japanese experimental psych-folk band "Ghost".)
