I became a software engineer because writing code is fun. Thinking through hard problems, designing elegant solutions, seeing the things you’ve built working for the first time… these moments are all deeply satisfying, so why in the world would I ever surrender them to AI?

this guy literally goes out of his way to use slurs and make people feel unwelcome. everybody _knows_ that last word is a slur; his sole purpose in using language like this (and going back to using “master”) is as a statement to say that he doesn’t care about other people. it’s just a signal.

the thing that really jumps out to me is actually in that RubyCentral Railsconf FAQ you linked to, specifically the "ARE SOME SPEAKERS OBLIGATED TO BE CHOSEN IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN RELATIONSHIPS WITH SPONSORS?" item
seems like that's a bold-faced lie given the pressure from Shopify for RailsConf to bring back DHH in that fireside chat?

literally the only possibilities here are Shopify’s funding or the alleged potential funding from DHH/Basecamp that Mike posted about. either way, DHH is ultimately involved since he’s on Shopify’s board. this is just such a fucking disaster

One of Ruby Central’s board members, Freedom Dumlao, has posted some more details on what happened earlier this week, but it still feels lacking in some transparency to me. Who set this deadline? What sponsor(s) were threatening to pull money? This is too vague.

It's actually impressive how the Bluesky team consistently whiffs it on every issue they feel like they need to comment (or not comment) on.
These people didn’t say anything about the Hortmans. They have never spoken out about any school or church shooting. They’ve never said anything about Gaza.
This isn’t about public mourning. This isn't necessary. It’s selective outrage to appease the right wing, and they repeatedly choose this.

GitHub straight up blocked a woman from the community org for writing this in the discussion about Grok in Copilot. The entire situation is growing exponentially more distasteful the longer they choose to censor rather than respond. This is just so, so shameful.
