Not sure if DHH gets access to codebase. I hope this help shape future of Ruby Rails. Shopify is many order of magnitude larger than 37Signals and pose many unique challenges. Hopefully this means more stuff gets extracted out into Rails.

I believe Shopify has core contributors to Ruby and Rails already, I don't think a board position changes much there.

Shopify has 1.1k public Github repos... Not sure how you'd integrate that into Rails lol, or why you'd want to. Also the challenges for someone starting a Rails app are different than Shopify.
