> Sidekiq withdrew its $250,000/year sponsorship for Ruby Central because they platformed DHH at RailsConf 2025.

Honest question: What's the issue with DHH here? What did he do that caused them to pull support because he was platformed at RailsConf?

>>_fat_s+le
Probably the fact that DHH introduced Solid Queue to Rails which can replace Sidekiq. Of course they're not going to say that, it'll be some excuse about his lukewarm European politics...

>>dismal+Af
Also the fact that DHH complained about not wanting to live in London because of how many non-whites there are, praising violent far-right agitators, and repeating debunked racist claims.

>>danude+6t
Source? That’s hard for me to believe.

I can see how you'd read it that way, but I read it like this, "I went to Lisbon and it was basically a bunch of California programmer bros. The culture there has been lost, and that loss is regrettable."

In other words, it can be read more charitably as a lamentation about the loss / changing of a culture.
