DHH aside, most of this drama was over a decade ago.

"Actually, the Ruby community ripped itself apart a decade ago and has never changed and still suffering from the consequences except with the recent thing with the founder" is not a strong argument

No, but listing things that happened over the course of over a decade, some of which are well resolved and others (like why’s leaving) are questionable how they’re an indication of drama.

He left public programming, including Scratch, entirely.

		> things that happened over the course of over a decade Bad things happening to contributors year after year for a decade shows a toxic community that doesn't change even over a long period of time The latest harm is just the continuation of what has been happening since the beginning > some of which are well resolved Resolved? Decisions were made, but the tensions were never resolved and people were hurt. > He left public programming [...] entirely. Yeah. That's what happens when someone is destroyed after years of their hard work is treated like nothing.

Ha yep. I remember a lot of this drama from my early days working with rails. But my impression is that none of this mattered and has long been water under the bridge. (I didn't know until reading about this current episode that there is new DHH drama.)
