DHH is a racist piece of shit and everyone supporting his shit by buying stuff from his company, inviting him to talks, using or promoting his garbage "distribution" (looking at you @frameworkcomputer ) is compliant and a morally bankrupt human being.
@tante
Strange how many peoples that suddenly goes from “nobody” to “famous/rich” while still being quite young became immense pices of shit.
(DHH, Thiel, Musk…)
Maybe because they didn't face any opposition for a long time as anyone near them tell them they are genius, even if their good fortune come from shear luck. Once someone put them in their place on a specific topic, they feel personally attacked or don't understand they can be wrong.
@tante Indeed.
Avoiding his products, however, is harder than you might think: He created #RubyOnRails, the wildly popular web framework that powers Mastodon, GitLab, Discourse and so many other powerful Web apps.
@chpietsch I know. Still important to warn people not to start anything using rails or supporting that person in any other way.
I prefer Python and Django anyways.
@tante Yes. Although DHH does not officially run RoR these days according to https://rubyonrails.org/foundation , I do not see any indication that the RoR community has distanced itself from DHH. Instead, they keep inviting him as a keynote speaker: https://rubyonrails.org/world/2026/speakers/dhh
@chpietsch @tante He does officially run RoR.
> The Core member companies are each represented by one employee on the foundation's board, which is then chaired by the creator of Ruby on Rails, David Heinemeier Hansson.
He's the BDFL of Rails, and he's defended being a BDFL.
I still need a sticker "I had this before they gave money to DHH" 😭
@tante @frameworkcomputer@fosstodon.org I need the Apu jumping in front of a bullet meme for Framework and Framework's weird nerds inventing benefits of the doubt for a guy that was so racist, he thought London needed to go back to being just ethnically Briton. Not just white, but Briton.
Just for those wondering: He posted fascist, racist right wing talking points to his company blog

@tante And casually throws ableist slurs around, too! Always very telling.
@tante oh wow such a shallow take on the topic, with a good sprinkle of racism and elitism. He is not really smart, is he?
@tante DHH moving back to Denmark (and being lauded as a SV innovator) and immediately bringing his SV racist mindset to bear on Danish (and European) politics is genuinely one of the worse things happening to Danish politics in recent times... everyone keeps inviting him to give his take, no Danish journalists are being any kind of really critical of him
@tante he's a piece of shit, but that's not the company blog. his company has a blog platform and that's what he's using (sorry for pedantry)
@tante I reckon he's got a really small willie.
@tante Okay.
Okay.
He's a racist piece of shit, and this is an alternatively racist and insane plea.
But, I've gotta laugh at this: "Europeans can rediscover their roots, their ancestry, their ingenuity, and choose to channel all those healthy national feelings toward a grand revival."
For the... nation? of Europe? The nation of Europe that, famously, was totally peaceful toward everyone in Europe, united against outsiders?
If Europe rediscovered its "roots" and Europeans their "ancestry", Britain and France would declare war on each other immediately, Germany would break into 30 warring states, Prussia would reform and declare war on everyone, etc. etc. etc..
Oh, and let's not forget about the Caliphate of Cordoba.
What a stupid motherfucker.
@tante "Tell me about DHH" is a good interview topic.
