The OP could well be referring to DHH's recent blog post comparing Roma in Copenhagen to a predatory species that needed to be culled.

View on HN

I thought he was referring to his "London that I used to know" posts, wasn't aware he'd been at it again.

"When wolves get out of control, you shoot them. When gypsies take over public spaces you deport them" is how his last post ends. It's not even a dogwhistle anymore.

It's disappointing more than anything, I never agreed with him on everything but he was at least somewhat interesting/relevant to listen to at the peak of the RoR days and mostly harmless.

Not sure why you are getting downvoted. His post literally ends with those words: https://world.hey.com/dhh/wolves-sheep-and-gypsies-ba44af6a

Mostly because HN is full of two kinds of things: tech bros that think that "everything shouldn't be political durr" and actual literal fascists that think that palantir is a good thing.

I'm not fully surprised by it. Pissing in their cornflakes and reminding everyone what they are is what matters, not points.

Story of my life haha
