I also fail to see how people feel they [...] This is the kind of thinking I was referencing. You don't see it because you're not in their shoes, that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It's fine and all that people do disagree, that's just the context for my post. If you want someone to see things your way, build a bridge over the gap in their misunderstanding. DHH's blog post its just preaching to the converted. That's why I asked the context and audience. Saying "Rails is omakase" is a lot like saying "git stores a directed acyclic graph of revisions" or "A monad is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors". Almost nobody gets it unless they already get it, and the behavior he seemed to be complaining about was critcism from the unwashed masses. It just doesn't fit. I asked who gives a fuck because what small sliver of his audience is going to both understand what he is trying to express AND take anything new away from the post? My initial read was wrong, because (to stretch his abused metaphor) he is actually talking about the fact his chefs and regular customers really seem to think 2 tsp of spice in the soup would be better than the 1 tsp he is insistent on using. Which makes his post make even less sense. He could have have ditched the flowery prose, meandering critcisms of criticism and just said "This is important to me, I'm pulling rank."
