New Remote Ruby episode is out! With @excid3.com on paternity leave, I brought in @drbragg.dev and @chaelcodes.bsky.social to unpack the recent controversies surrounding Ruby Central and its control over RubyGems and Bundler. www.buzzsprout.com/2260490/epis...

I don’t know why you refused to talk about DHH. He was the reason sidekick pulled their sponsorship. DHH and Tobi have been acting atrociously since the debacle insulting and berating valuable members of the community. If you are brave address this in a podcast

> DHH and Tobi have been acting atrociously (sic) insulting and berating valuable members of the community Can you provide sources for this? We wanted to stick to what’s confirmed (timeline and governance issues), not speculation on motives. The goal wasn’t to dodge, just to keep it useful.

You can look at their xitter posts to see their abuse of various members of the Ruby community. Mike Perham was very public about why he ended his contributions to Ruby central. It was because of DHH Honestly this whole thing at its core is about DHH

You made me log into xitter but Here is one tobi reposted x.com/ironcladdev/...

Mmm ok yep that's wild, don't get me wrong. But seems like a false equivalence. It doesn't talk about anything related to the issue in the episode and instead is about something unrelated (imo) which is calls for DHH to step down. Again, absolutely wild retweet.

As of now, there has been no direct confirmation that the RC takeover was in any way related to this.

Yes. Hang on I'll get you the link. Mike Perham did agree he pulled the $250,000/year of funding via Sidekiq due to the platforming of DHH at RailsConf 2025.

How is that DHH's fault?

Where did I say it was DHH's fault? I said simple cause and effect. DHH was platformed at RailsConf 2025. Mike pulled funding.

Also. It's not cowardice to demand evidence; it’s rigor. If there are specific quotes or incidents, cite them directly rather than gesturing broadly at 'Xitter posts.' Turning a complex institutional issue into a personality drama is not brave; it’s lazy analysis.

You should do an episode on DHH and whether it’s a problem for the rails community to keep him the face of the framework. Numerous people have written about him lately

It even more numerous people think that those people are wrong.

If you’re interested in content like that, I suggest you write your own blog post or start a podcast. However, that’s not the type of content we cover. It never has been, and we aren't going to start now regardless of our personal feelings on the topic.
