This post jumps into the center of some controversy in a very unclear place. Is there a short (preferably neutral) summary of what this is all about somewhere?

        Sounds like the heavy hand was needed tbh. Who thinks that kind of behaviour is ok at work?

      Supporting Canadian truckers was a straw? And that somehow broke the camels back because of misogyny in slides and booth ads (showing a pretty girl?). Because of this they lost a 250,000 sponsorship from sideiq which then gave leverage to shopify to takeover the community because of a fear of this rv tool. In the end their communities purity tests lost them everything.

        You need only skim his blog to see why. He’s increasingly hostile to minorities of all sorts. Beyond that, Mike (author of Sidekiq) is more than welcome to withdrawal his funding as he wishes. That’s how this works.

    You picked ONE of the controversial things DHH has written about, and you chose one of the least controversial ones.

      That was the only one I found! What's the worst then?
  - jcmfernandes 1y ago
    Where to start... DHH created Rails, but he didn't write Rails - a large community did. This is an attempt to be factual. Linus created Linux, but he didn't write Linux. Etc. Criticizing an *individual* for stopping to *donate* is pointless.
