Hacker News is a site full of tech cultists and apologists.
…that it exists?
There’s never NOT been a time when Rails hasn’t been embroiled in some kind of drama but here’s a summary of what’s been happening lately
System76?
As a former long-time Ruby developer who also used Rails (Ruby since 2006, Rails came along for me later), I’ve always known DHH was a total douchebag.
This is where every discussion and topic involving DHH has begun and ended for me. If Oxford defined “techbro” his face would be the illustrated example. He’s the prick Zed Shaw warned us about. And everything, EVERYTHING, that has transpired in the past year, is entirely on brand for him. He is a narcissist, a sociopath, a racist, Elon Musk fart huffing fascist piece of shit; and nobody in the Ruby community should have given him any quarter. I KNEW THIS IN 2008.
And yet, here we are, 17 years later.
I write and maintain Laravel for a living now.
I don’t even know what the fuck Hyprland is because I am firmly in the Ubuntu ecosystem
First rule of a PR crisis that has high online visibility is to stop talking.
I FUCKING HATE CAPITALISM SO MUCH
Oh no!
Anyways what’s everyone having for lunch? I’m having bean burritos.
A machine to create slop to feed slop
So what are you waiting for?
You got what you asked for!
And now DHH is getting involved in this shitshow. For those not chronically online enough, DHH is one of the developers of Rails, has a rap sheet of drama, and has his own dirty laundry full of racism, transphobia, and has managed to drive his own company into the shitter.
So really a bunch of winners are coming out of the woodwork for this one.
As a happy Debian user i’m not hearing any of it.
I saw the logo, thought it was weird, figured they would roll it right back in a week.
I wonder how the TikTok user base feels about this.
adblockers cause views to drop
Nothing causes me to drop a video like an ad I can’t put up with, like a political ad. This is some BULLSHIT.
