what in the actual fuck
This is connected to the whole thing I linked up in the post. Real talk, I was buggin' about whether this was a troll or if it was for real. I don't even know if the code runs, but the person who made it killed the documentation. Looks like a legit PR.

A few years ago I'd say "trolling, 100%". Nowadays someone posts a random tweet here and I'm like "oh".
It's a legit closed PR. lol. It looks at a glance as if it would compile. Not going to waste compute on it to test.

What I meant by 'legit' was they had solid intentions. I'm with you, I think they're probably just trolling. ~lol

Would not be surprised if this was a total troll. Could also be someone using a nym because they knew it would have blow back on them. But the way people throw around these terms is actually having the opposite effect that people tend to desire.

I guess I missed where DHH expressed fascist views. Did he admit he voted for Obama or something :/ Or is it because he created Rails?
reply
He wrote some blog that sounded a bit racist, specifically after investigation where he got his numbers from, views that he probably should've thought about a bit more. Linked in that related item in top post.
Either way, the cancel culture thing is similarly dumb... Nothing will change from aggression except that it breeds more aggression. Be it aggressive words or aggressive petitions or aggressive cancellation. It's all counter productive.
