News update re: #RubyCentralTakeover
Shopify's Tobi Lütke and DHH have weighed in on an open letter written by @Floppy requesting #Rails core & the #Ruby community cut ties with DHH.
Tobi thinks such critcs are “divisive clowns” who “spew bullshit terms” and should be ignored.
DHH thinks they are “hysterical individuals” and it's “sad to watch”. And those who label him a Nazi are “antisocial” with “violent fantasies” and #OpenSource should “route around these nutjobs”
