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…

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…
