It started with a presentation that a Rails contributor gave that included pictures of half naked women. I can't remember the guy's name, but there was something posted on here about it yesterday. There was some sort of uproar with a bunch of people calling it all sorts of things from unprofessional to sexist. DHH then made a comment to the effect that not only is being outside the social norm acceptable but it should be encouraged. I believe his Twitter comment was posted on here as well.
Here is one of the submissions from yesterday about this that adds some context: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=583025 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=583025. I can't find the original submission that that one is in response to. Following a flame war on HN is way too complicated.
