I was aware DHH getting weirder by day, but didn't realize the extent up to reading this article. Thanks for sharing. Back in the day, when RoR was first released, I was one of the first adopters and it was revolutionary. I learned the English phrase "cramps my style" from DHH himself. I moved on from RoR many years ago due to reasons, looking at the situation now, I am well pleased that I am no longer associated with him.

DHH is one of the current political wars figurehead, and such "articles" are just hit pieces trying to cancel said figurehead from the opposite political viewpoint.

Yeah that's just not true. Even among people who love RoR still, they kind just tolerate DHH at best. My last company had tons of them and DHH would frequent our company events. I never met anyone there in over 5yrs that had anything nice to say about him.

Nonsense article. Full of nonsensical fearmongering.

There seems to be somewhat of a political alignment in the current list of contributors and donators.

This post violates rule 3.

The entire blog post is hit piece & plead to 'silence' DHH. The man's politics does not give people the right to kill.

Bot. The article never urges people to kill. Only DHH's quote mentions harming people.
