It is called dishonesty. It is the entire reason anyone knows who DHH is.
- _pius 14y agoIt is called dishonesty. It is the entire reason anyone knows who DHH is. I understand you may not like the guy, but I'm pretty sure DHH's fame came mostly from creating Ruby on Rails.
- papsosouid 14y agoI don't think it did. What's the name of the guy who created django? I know the only reason I know of DHH and not django-guy is that DHH spent years dishonestly promoting rails/trashing java.
- _pius 14y agoI don't think it did. What's the name of the guy who created django? Adrian Holovaty et al.

- _pius 14y agoYeah, I got what you were trying to do. The rhetorical question you chose didn't support your point.
- papsosouid 14y agoYes it does. Compare how many people know django guy vs how many people know DHH. One specific individual knowing who django guy is doesn't invalidate the argument.
- kmfrk 14y agoWell, that or being very "vocal" about Rails. :) It's not unlikely that there are younger people in tech who know him from 37signals and not RoR.
