along with many others who wrote great things in 2005! but what lately? the setup script called omarachy?
> entrepreneur
again, we're two decades from anything I'd call entrepreneurial
babies have born and can vote since the last major wave DHH made, but he's great at soundbites and attention cycles
Also some gems like: https://github.com/basecamp/omarchy/commit/af72a45dbd4358bca...

There's also Omakub[0] which was sort of a precursor to Omarchy that gives users the `wget <some url> | bash` as a means of installation where the install script is a thin wrapper around another `eval $(wget <some url>` that then git clones a repository and executes a 3rd script.
That's definitely the kinds of patterns I'd expect some prolific software engineer to use and also encourage complete novices to Linux to be comfortable just piping arbitrary wgets into a shell
The un-squashed commits are just the tip of the iceberg, but the installation method is the most egregious.
Omarchy's distribution and install is the kind of thing I'd expect to see from a college project, not a leader in the tech world. I don't see DHH as a leader in anything except controversy and clicks these days, though, so the cheerleading around Oma-anything confuses me.
