Imagine how much good someone like David Heinemeier Hansson could do if he only believed in things like inclusion and compassion. Imagine the kind of positive influence he could have across various spaces, online and off, and how very different things might be across large swaths of developer-centric communities.
I won‘t link to it, but just three days into Pride Month he wrote a disgusting transphobic piece. I only just now saw it when someone shared it with me (he’s not in my feed reader, because I generally avoid reading garbage).
DHH is the reason that I’m never surprised when I encounter a transphobic Rails dev. He models this behavior intentionally, and his followers readily emulate it. He’s made hate trendy for an entire subset of web developers. What a pathetic disappointment of a person he is.
