Is "the guy who wrote the most popular Ruby HTML parser" actively promoting this, though? I know that everything thinks Twitter is an advertising platform, but it could be he just thought it was a cool hack and wanted to show his friends. It's invigorating to get positive feedback about something you think is cool even if the actual feat accomplished is relatively small, like flipping a flag on Ruby's SSL module.

He didn't write a tutorial based on this methodology and I definitely don't see it pimped around anyway. gist is a pastebin, after all.
