>Now, I’m not on the RailsConf committee this year, but I have been on it in the past. I was on it the year that we decided not to make David Hanemeier-Hansson[1], original committer to Rails, the keynote speaker for the first time in sixteen years. That guy melted down in this giant blog post that echoed throughout the halls of the online tech bro cafeteria for weeks.

David Heinemeier-Hansson wasn't the "original committer to Rails". He built the first version of Rails entirely on his own. As he's known to be quite opinionated and harsh in his tone, I read the "melt down" that was mentioned here and I really don't think it reads in that tone at all[2]. While I did find the article here quite interesting and do share some of the sentiment regarding tech conferences, I find this paragraph quite disingenuous.

I read the whole thing and I have no idea whats going on. The post starts reminiscing the work of the year. Common end of the year post. Then an email is presented in which the conf people just say they are looking for other options. The only reason given is that they were "offline" a lot. (btw, what does that mean? Isn't git history being online?) And then the author starts giving a "I hate woke culture" speech. This reads like a GPT output with ctx=potato. I am definitely missing something.
