In Praise of dhh A reflection on Ruby's past, present, and future.

After the Rubygems drama, I felt frustrated that I can’t escape evil people trying to dominate my life.

Join me in building a better future:

I've heard Mango Languages is good, but I haven't used it before.

I think you can get full access for free through some libraries, or something like that?

It feels like several years ago when companies were all changing their logos to be more modern and everyone got mad, but this time the weirdos got mad first and loudest?
