      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!

      Mmm. There’s certainly nothing else about any of the people or projects involved that’s likely to be a source of fuss, either.

      No sir, nothing but apolitical dramaless software development as far as the eye can see.

          My impression from reading the stuff posted here is that omarchy is a nothing project that’s being aggressively astroturfed so a series of increasingly fashy contributors can gain clout and influence in the foss ecosystem.

    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.
