Rails is an open source sourftware with hundreds if not thousands of contributors, its at version 7 now, if you think it's been "written by a product guy" you don't know what you're saying.

- rubyist5eva 5y agoRails was originally created for, most intents and purposes, of building Basecamp and solving Basecamp problems. That's why Rails is good at building things that are similar to Basecamp and adjacent use cases. Modern Rails has been adapted to modern standards and trends but is still a "basecamp framework", with some additions to also be a "hey.com framework". Basecamp is a small company, intentionally, so it makes sense that DHH is more of a "product guy", or at least has more of a product sense than your typically insulated enterprise engineer.
