The Ruby community can no longer afford to stand silent in the face of DHH and his toxic ideas.
This 9th of october, Hyprland's twitter account announced that they had received a financial contribution from Framework, a company building modular, repairable computers. Given Hyprland's messy history of being a toxic community people started publicly questioning Framework's decision. People also noticed that Framework's twitter account recently promoted Omarchy, a
You might’ve noticed Framework, the laptop manufacturer, embroiled in a controversy as of now. The Discord server is on lockdown because the volunteer moderation team has gone on hiatus, and the Framework forum post about the controversy has been gaining unsightly amounts of steam from people disappointed at actions taken by Framework.

Don’t Need Money by Poorly Drawn Lines Some “AI” related stuff today, with the idea of prompt engineering being requirements engineering and how these new tools can enable non-programmers to get closer to the code.

Despite the whole Situation with the tech industry, I have gotten away without interacting with a single LLM y
A response to another blog post that states that the Ruby community as a DHH problem. If we look at every individual claim, it’s obvious that it doesn’t.
genAI code is now in Python, curl, and systemd. We face an ethical crisis. Slopware means we have two possible responses: absolutism or harm reduction. This moment demands the same principled stand that free software absolutists have taken for decades.
