@wschenk@floss.social because he’s the second most influential person in the Ruby ecosystem, and him showing his entire ass to the Internet is driving decent people like me away? It’s not like there’s a shortage of web frameworks out there and most developers would prefer to work with one that DOESN’T have a mad frothing emperor running it. Same problem as with WordPress. I want him to shut up because I care about Ruby and he’s hurting it.

@hejsna@ruby.social Sorry I think I wasn't clear. My question is really about why people are talking about DHH "showing his ass", which I personally think is meaningless and inconsequential but to each their own, instead of talking about the maintainers of rubygems and bundler losing control of their projects and their contributions to the community, which I consider to be a major event, and shaking the foundations of the ruby community. It seems to me that losing rubygems is a big deal.
