#23> Unlike many community non-profits (including the Python Software Foundation), Ruby Central does not hold elections for their board of directors.
The PSF is a hellhole where everyone tries to cancel each other. People like David Mertz and Steve Holden [1] who supported other cancellations were cancelled themselves. And of course Tim Peters for opposing other cancellations.
You are only secure in the corporate inner circle, just like in Ruby. Even there Google got tired of the antics and fired Python core developers.
You use the PSF to gain influence and get a high salary with minimal work, inside and outside Python.

okay.
perhaps in the future you might consider writing a blog, instead of comments on HN, so that other people wont disturb you.

#28a lot of tragic things keep happening to the ruby ecosystem. the language has improved in the recent additions - ractors, it's faster now & always a pleasure to write. however the ruby ecosystem has a tendency to deny reality - ruby is falling down rankings - people deny that's false but everything points to that. the ecosystem is not willing to move away from rails. & DHHs antics don't help either.
