Do you have a source for this? Also, do you watch his podcast? His host (who's literally also one of his employees) is a black woman. Not proof he's not racist, but suggests probably not. Unless you just assume anyone to the right of you equals racist, which lots of leftists do. Which is one of many reasons why the global right is rising...

Rhiannon worked with Ruby Central for a bit, left a few weeks ago, and just shared this: https://bsky.app/profile/rhiannon.io/post/3lz6zcflg2s26
Post not found, what did it say?
her followup post:
Deleted my post, which I published before Ruby central released their blog explaining things.
It’s ultimately not my place to say or speculate about what’s going on.
It’s obviously a disastrously bad roll out or whatever is happening and I hope they are able to make things right w the community.

Is he? I use Ruby and Rails, but I don't pay much attention to DHH so this is news to me. Would you mind pointing me to a source for this?
he's been moaning loudly and histrionically about how london is doomed because there's not enough white natives.

#216The idea that Ruby Central is "attacking" its own project -- that it has secured funding for -- for a decade plus, is not really based in reality. Not sure what goes on in their "Github Enterprise", but their vanilla github is pretty transparent. Marty has been doing good work in the repo as of late around the Orgs feature. I rely on rubygems.org, and my fork of rubygems.org on a daily basis.
The project is an objective public-good. It's sad that a former employee is attempting to burn it all down. I guess they thought it was all about them and not the millions of DAU's the platform has served without fail since inception. Contractors will come and go.
What are the OPs contributions even? I don't see a single commit from her handle on the 24 month view (below). Correct me if I'm wrong.

They did not say this. They said they would not highly prioritize it. Which is, of course, reasonable: given two topics, I have little metric to prioritize learning about one over the other. I have no way to know that I am prioritizing my research adequately.

The real question is who isn't American? When someone says "X is for Xes" they are implicitly saying "and not for Ys".
If you don't believe that's the case, then tell me exactly what that phrase means other than to exclude some group. To claim "these are not real Americans".

Re: Ruby Central's Attack on RubyGems [pdf]
#220I took comfort in the fact that the ruby community seemed miraculously immune from these petty disputes and takeovers from the benevolent entity running the service. Seems like that’s not the case anymore :( Sorry for all the maintainers, that must suck.
I miss the days of "we're nice because matz is nice"
A decade ago there used to be a site called rubydrama.org because of how frequently the community blew up at itself.
