I have been a fan of 37signals and its founders since college. I thought they were some of the smartest people in the industry. Their “Getting Real” book still rocks. (And maybe you know Mastodon was written in RoR).
Therefore, it’s especially sad to see how DHH and Jason Fried are simping for Elon Musk now. It’s devastatingly disappointing when your heroes growing up reveal themselves as jerk billionaire wannabes.
(DHH’s summary of Musk’s biography has some reasonable and obvious points, but look at the first one. It’s just stupid).
