This interview is from a couple years ago, but the article gives no indication of that aside from this note at the very bottom in italics:

This article was originally published on the User Interface Resource Center (UIRC). For more info, please see http://uxmag.com/uirc

Just FYI...

At this level, it's not even softball questions, it feels like at any moment, the interviewer is going to drop on his knees and give DHH a blow job.

Here is a more serious question: despite all the hype, Ruby on Rails never became mainstream and is dwarfed on job boards by Java and .Net. How do you explain this?

Less audio links would be better. Looking at the comments on the post, I see I'm not the only one who had a bad user experience on that page.

How do you decide when less is more, and when more is better?

There seems to be this optimal balance that he alludes to, but never really discusses with exact detail.
