Really love how the 37signals guys are turning conventional wisdom on its head - moving from cloud back to own data center, getting rid of SPAs with Hotwire, and now this. More power to DHH and co.
Note - I don't work there or use any of their products (other than Ruby on Rails). These are just my honest observations.
They have taken investment from Jeff Bezos decades ago.

I understand DHH pisses off many people when he speaks, and some times he could probably be a bit less harsh, but I admire him a lot because he's one of the few people I know in this industry critically thinking, applying common sense, and not blindly following fads and all the bullshit that's going on at most places.
I think overall it is a net gain to follow and listen what he says, even if not said in the most "nice" way, I agree on almost everything he says tech wise.
And using Rails after years of pure "modern" SPAs, feels really refreshing. I'm sad most of us have forgotten how simpler things could be, and terrified about new people joining the industry that will never know it (for the time being at least).
