My colleague just called me asking, “Hey, do you know this guy [link-to-blog], he is a Ruby dev from Kursk?”

Man, I am living in Barcelona for almost ten years and I’ve never even been to Kursk in my life.

“But you are also Russian.”

Yeah, I am. Not Monacan though. Not Liechtensteiner. Not Andorran, fwiw.

Silent shrugging.

After all, I quit professional Ruby more than five years ago.

“Ah, that explains it.”
