An open letter to the Rails Core team and Ruby community

People who have not discovered the importance of time, and can’t appreciate an outstanding leadership.

meh.

just fork it and see if it lands. it is sincerely energy draining seing polarisation and politics being brought into the tech world sincerely.

This is so ridiculously childish. DHH’s politics should be entirely irrelevant. Ruby on Rails is not left or right wing, it’s a framework for building websites. Anyone with an ounce of sense will choose a framework on the technical merits. If you’re so caught up in school yard politics that you can’t bear to use the work of someone you consider to be a right wing technologist, build your own or use something else. But also: Look in the mirror and ask yourself if you are being juvenile and try growing up a bit. We can hold different opinions in a pluralist society and still get along. (And while I disagree with a great deal in DHH’s essays, the notion that he is fascist is puerile and frankly offensive in itself).
