Did DHH actually agree to do this before you guys built this?

One thing that is not clear from your site, that I think should be, is that the code discussions need to happen over unconventional Rails design patterns. DHH was saying he was willing to ping pong on the original discussion thread over a design pattern in a submitted article that he thought was an unnecessary abstraction.

Are you just collecting gist submissions, or are you planning to provide some discussion infrastructure? If it's the latter, perhaps make it more open-ended so it can be used by everyone for reviews?

I don't entirely know what's going on here, but I looked at the linked thread and dhh says twice that he would love to do code ping-pong.

On my team, when we are sketching out new infastructure, we'll fork each other's gists, which while good, could probably be more elegant since the fork experience isn't as powerful in Gists as it is in Github compare view. Perhaps this is the beginning to a cool project for that. Would rather have a ping pong game though.

According to their blog post (https://netguru.co/blog/posts/code-ping-pong-with-dhh) DHH is in.
