What exactly does ::SomeModule do? I first expected that it was a method like any other, getting called in the context it was in, so I went into irb to confirm.

1.8.7 :001 > class A; class B; end; end
 => nil 
1.8.7 :002 > A.send(:::, :B)
SyntaxError: compile error
(irb):2: syntax error, unexpected tSYMBEG, expecting tCONSTANT
A.send(:::, :B)

	That's because we adopt these practices from the business itself.
	Consider the startup world. It's easy to make something flashy that piques your interest for a week or two, but then again 99% of those businesses fail.
	The ones that succeed have a real market, data to back it up, and a solid internal organization.

	Is it harder to make a business structured this way? Absolutely, but the payoff of creating something that is more than just a fad is huge.
	Don't build software that's meant to be a fad.
