      DHH has always had a cult of personality, since the very early days of Rails (I started hearing about his boring ass in 2005. Ugh!).

      He attracts people who are into hype. Around 2013 junior developers loved to say “did you hear what DHH said?” And I’d have to explain to them that I didn’t care because he seemed like a douche and rarely said anything someone smarter than him hadn’t already said many times.

      He is wealthy and has a soapbox, so he is a dumb person’s idea of a smart person.

      Since the start!

    I never understood what this damn distro is about. All I hear is “IT GOT DEFAULTS!” whenever I try to look it up. I always prefer to stick with upstream distros unless a downstream project makes a significant change.
