weird talk; is not reading any code _at all_ is the new standard now? I do happily ai-slop side projects here and there but seems like just going full steam ahead _at work_ is ok? sorry, I meant - is the future now? xd

I guess it's the only con that will take money to have DHH give a keynote about some sycophantic BS

Adieu, Ruby on Rails.

He may be racist but what a great orator! (Who else does that apply to?) Can't really disagree with him about the AI stuff either. I mean maybe it's a bit premature but if it isn't true now it will be in 5-10 years.

I guess the death of Ruby is a silver lining to AI at least.

Why such hate?

There are lots of languages I don't use, but I can't imagine saying that about any of them.

I don't think it's fair to say that being anti large scale immigration is racist.
steve_adams_86 2 hours ago||
It's the framing. Wolves, sheep, and gypsies. "Standing idly by while your livestock is devoured by predators or your neighborhood is taken over by migrants"; migrants are not inherently predators at all. North America is built by them. DHH implies anyone from outside is only arriving to violate and destroy what existed before them. This is not at all how it works.

Alongside this framing is seemingly no admission or acknowledgement that crimes have been and still are perpetrated by "normal Brits" as well; the focus is entirely on the barbarians coming from outside to maraud. It's as though he attaches criminality to foreignness.

He also steps all over the line of what a "native" Brit is. Seemingly not someone born there, but, according to statistics he is certainly referring to white Brits.

The list goes on. The man is racist. I don't think being anti-large scale immigration is inherently racist at all. As a Canadian I have substantial concerns about how immigration is conducted, and I don't consider that racist. But very, very little of what DHH thinks, or how he frames his ideas, ever crosses my mind. I don't think about preserving 'real' or 'normal' Canadians. I think a lot about how immigrants have made my country better. I don't internally or explicitly associate crime with immigration. It's much different.

You can always go live in Africa/the Middle East if you want to live there. We don't so will not be permitting people from those areas to take over our countries, thanks.

Right he juxtaposes wolves:shoot::gypsies:deport — using a literal extermination campaign as a metaphor has been incredibly problematic throughout history.

Also generally in Denmark gypsy is a pejorative (sigøjner). One could go on and on, there's no overreach to the racist claim by any means.

He's not bumbling into these situations, he knows very well what he's doing.

I think you're confusing Spotify and Shopify.

This happens in every DHH thread and it always gives me a chuckle.

I'm not here to defend DHH --- but I think "AI" has materially changed since 2024. I think that it's entirely reasonable to have shifted perspective on the technology and its applications since 2024.

Yeah. I found it basically useless until around mid 2024. Now, I use it every day, nearly all day.

>DHH has only written web software and knows nothing about serious software development.

I don't particularly like DHH either but web software is definitely serious. Shopify (which you seem to have confused with Spotify) runs on Rails. So does GitHub.

Those are both huge platforms handling a ton of traffic. If GitHub isn't "serious software" then what is?

Congrats on the dumbest rant I've read all week. Can't even get the company names straight.

Oh c'mon, there were three million ways you could express this feeling with some class... And you went for "can't even get the company names straight" ?

Reddit would have about 15 comments alluding without never revealing, all of them smart, classy and funny. The rest would be complete trash probably.
