As DHH offered to literally do some "code ping pong" I don't see that it is.

"If this is a poor example, pick a good example. I'll be happy to code ping pong you whatever example you choose." -DHH

HN comments are not exactly the best place to review code side by side. I'm glad he is participating and I'm looking forward to the comparisons

Whatever do you mean? DHH said he'd like to do it. What do you think "passive aggressive" means?

It's not.
