DHH has always been a contrarian who speaks highly confidently in extremes. He does well in topics where he can show up and act like a beacon of sane and helpful takes in a world where everyone other than him is wrong.
Some times he’ll find a clear wedge topic and hook his message to that, appealing to people on one side of the wedge.
At other times he’ll manufacture some strawman arguments and present them as indisputable facts that he’s revealing to you, dear listener, as a trusted guide who has seen the light.
His sudden flip to being anti-Mac after years of being pro-Mac follows the pattern. He had some small real grievance at some point and saw an opportunity to become known for Omarchy, so he flipped to extreme takes like “Macs are complete trash” and saying weird things like how they can’t be used for agents.
