What's your criticism of DHH? RMS and Matz have been criticized too.
See a pattern here? Could it be FUD from well-funded closed source software vendors?
The younger generation seems less capable of critical thinking & quick to judge by media smears. It's easy enough for closed source vendors to smear prominent #FOSS developers. Money talks and they have the motive, means & opportunity, and a powerful megaphone to talk through.
Don't believe the hype!

@purrperl @krutonium @abmurrow @rperezrosario The short of it, DHH is racist. You don't need to go further than reading his own blogposts to see that. https://tomstu.art/the-dhh-problem RMS has been behaving in problematic ways as well. Shoving this under "FUD from well-funded closed source software vendors" does not help. The F/OSS community needs to do better. And maybe don't try to "younger generation" me. I may be closer to your age than you imagine.
