At Shopify I was the person who first proposed that we needed to stump up $$$ for RubyGems (and only by implication Ruby Central).
This is not what I had in mind and now I'm embarrassed that I helped make it possible.
- choilive 1y agoSounds like Shopify has some leverage then to open a line of comms with Ruby Central. "Explain yourselves or we will pull funding"
- konnorrogers 1y agoIf that's the case, sounds contradictory to their status as a 501c3 and could get their tax exempt status pulled if it's true.
- prh8 1y agoThe problem is that Shopify is leveraged by DHH (who is on their board) to be the financial support referenced elsewhere in today’s discourse. Shopify is a bad actor here
- jacques_chester 1y agoI should add, to clarify: I don't work at Shopify anymore and I'm not speaking for them. Purely a personal view.
