Dmitry Belitsky sent an email to prominent Rubyists with several different questions around the theme of “How to become a successful Rubyist”. He then posted their answers in interview form on his blog. I was a bit late to get my answers submitted, but they’re there now. Essentially, my advice is to participate in open source, use moderation, and have non-virtual hobbies, but you can read the entire interview if you like.

Thanks, Dmitry!
