In Praise of dhh. ⇒
10 November 2025, early morning
The title is a bit of bait, this is hardly in praise of dhh. Or is better phrased as “in praise of dhh of yore.” This is a deeply personal reflection on Filipa’s journey with the Rails community, well worth reading. (And not just because I’ve basically always disliked the guy. There is something so aggravating about the 37signals posse, churning out cool software and books, while being so annoying while doing so. None of this current drama feels new. The way dhh talks about immigrants recently is no different than the way 37signals was talking about them 20 years ago now, and I doubt his opinions were any different from his colleagues.)
