Nothing new DHH isn't widely praised for originality, but come on this whole article is like a total re-hash. And he doesn't even bother to mention Joel... to me that means he's trying to take credit, or he doesn't know about Joel... uh, yeah.

> DHH isn't widely praised for originality

Unless you have more to say I think this is an unnecessary attack on David's person, especially that one might think of a couple of things he did that are original. ;)

Or he's just ranting as he's prone to do.

At no point does he make an originality claim, and you don't need to be original to voice disappointment...
