| DHH is the lead developer of the most popular ruby web framework, Sandy is the author of a mildly popular book. Not knocking her work, but DHH is magnitudes more influential. |

| I think dhh's quote just isn't very good -- of course someone who has so much identity invested in the ecosystem is going to say "I looked around and still nothing is better than ruby!" Well maybe not even of course, not even every "BDL" is as cringingly self-promotional as dhh, some have a bit of humility. i agree it's not a great look. Hopefully the website will keep getting regularly updated and tweaked (software, is a living organism!), instead of being frozen in amber for a decade like the last version! |

| Yeah, DHH's inclusion is not a good look. Apparently people in this thread are upset that people are pointing that out? Why would you want someone known for political hijinx and hateful speech as your face? How is that supposed to draw in new people? |

| ▲ | dijit 28 minutes ago | parent [-] | | Being critical of MENA migration is not hateful speech. Hateful speech is stating: you are from a MENA region therefore you are x negative trait. Being critical of migration is just being critical of migration, which is allowed. His defence ("suicidal empathy" etc;) comes from the situation in the UK where people are being arrested en-masse for "hate speech" for referencing acts of terror[0]. You can dislike what he says, but hateful carries a more specific meaning (to me, at least). [0]: https://nypost.com/2025/08/19/world-news/uk-free-speech-stru... |
