@timbray@cosocial.ca @Floppy@mastodon.me.uk by all accounts matz is still a great dude. the dichotomy of personalities between him and dhh has always been odd for as long as i’ve been aware of ruby and rails (i discovered them in 2006-2007 as a high school senior), and i am fully on board with any effort to make rails align more with what i believe to be the right way to foster a positive community (i.e., without a leader that openly makes ableist, racist, and transphobic statements that would reasonably make members of the community feel unwelcome and unsafe for things about them that they can’t control).
also, tim — your resignation letter from amazon inspired a post that i wrote preemptively rejecting any advances by amazon recruiters, which has been noticed and mentioned positively several times since by other interviewers and recruiters i’ve interacted with. super happy and also a little starstruck to see you sign on to this. 🫶🏻
