  • Why is it so hard to believe that extreme political grievance _is_ a reason to use alternative software, whether it's a fork or a different framework entirely?

  • I'm confused by this response. It's relatively clear that the title is a reply to Ryan Biggs talk that outright refuses the possibility of creating a Rails fork for momentum reasons. Ryan also asserts they should all move to Hanami. I think you are reading too much into what he is writing. Lucas only does his due diligence to show that attempts…

  • You are seriously underselling how disgusting dhh's political views are. And those views matter, because if you are a member of one of the numerous groups dhh is bigoted against, are you going to contribute to Rails?

  • Literally read any of his own public statements that people are criticizing, which they link, before forming an opinion - too much to ask? It's pretty irrational to be willfully ignorant of something but assume that people upset about it must be nuts or "the bad guys" anyway.

  • From completely outside the community... this seems like wishcasting, including the headline? I thought this was going to be something like "now that LLMs can generate your routes and SQL, you don't need to write web apps in a high level language anymore", or "now that LLMs can port things to another language, you can lower your Rails app into…

  • You think it’s a strawman that some people don’t want to have to interact with a guy who says that London has too many brown people and that Denmark should deport gypsies?

  • It's not sudden. People have been talking about this for over a decade even if it has gotten markedly worse in the last 4-5 years.

  • This does not engage even in the slightest with what I wrote. Let me ask directly and clearly: do you think it's reasonable to distance yourself from someone ranting about "low IQ savages" for whom "segregation, sundown towns, lynchings" are a "rational containment strategy"?

  • > how complete the core of the project is and the viability of forks like the ones listed in this article. The "core of Rails" being "done" isn't wrong from a user perspective. As in, the bread and butter APIs have largely stabilized. Not necessarily because they're perfect, but because the cost of significantly breaking them now largely outweigh…

  • Consider a less controversial example: Eric S. Raymond. Currently he is ranting on X about "low IQ savages" for whom "segregation, sundown towns, lynchings" are a "rational containment strategy". And yes, these are literal quotes. And in context they're even worse. You talk about "private political views", but they're not really "private", are…
