- Comment on "A computer can never be held accountable. Therefore computers are a valuable tool for law enforcement and the ruling class." 3 weeks ago:
“While computers are mechanical, the processes must be dictated and implemented by a human. Therefore, the only person culpable when a computer does something, is the human who wrote the instruction set, code, or algorithm.”
If we interpreted the problem with human culpability and consequences, a whole lot of bugs would stop disappearing from software right quick.

As a former long-time Ruby developer who also used Rails (Ruby since 2006, Rails came along for me later), I’ve always known DHH was a total douchebag.
This is where every discussion and topic involving DHH has begun and ended for me. If Oxford defined “techbro” his face would be the illustrated example. He’s the prick Zed Shaw warned us about. And everything, EVERYTHING, that has transpired in the past year, is entirely on brand for him. He is a narcissist, a sociopath, and a piece of shit; and nobody in the Ruby community should have given him any quarter.
And yet, here we are, 20 years later. And now I do Laravel for a living.
