This is a subtle ad-hominem attack on someone making a very legitimate point about the community. I think you've got it backwards; DHH gave a very legitimate response to someone making a subtle ad-hominem attack on the Ruby community. Instead of addressing the rapid evolution of the Ruby community on its merits (or lack thereof), the phenomenon is reduced to "ADD," "distraction," and an obsession with coolness. There couldn't possibly be any merit to, for instance, embracing Git or REST: we're all just trying to be cool. "Very shallow analysis of a fast-moving community" is right on target IMO.
