I don't think that DHH is feeling that his experience is any different than other maintainers.
He's just trying to explain it to the masses. Maybe he's hoping that a few borderline whiners will catch a clue and decide to put up or shut up... maybe he's just venting.
Regardless, I sympathize with him. I love rails. I love where his leadership has taken the framework steadily over the years.
- orangethirty 14y agoRe: Whiners. They never shut up. :) Given the size and pop culture around Rails I think he gets to deal with more stuff than the usual maintainer. I mean, there are people who actively celebrate when there is a security issue in Rails. When github was hacked due to a foolish mistake people where celebrating! This is the sort of thing that keeps me from joining any Framework community. Fanboyism.
