There's no real substance behind the fork other than "I don't like DHH". The author says "Rails is done" meaning, feature complete. So he wants to fork it and have you use that fork instead. Why? I don't know. If it's truly "done", why does it matter what the repository name is? The underlying code will still be the same. > "I hope we can all thrive together" Except DHH et al? > "we want to continue building our web applications without feeling icky." I didn't know you could feel so negative about the code YOU write, while happily adopting code written by the person you vehemently disagree with.

Since DHH got the Shopify board membership and went from an AI skeptic to an AI shill, I welcome this fork. Look at his latest fake enthusiastic AI piece: https://world.hey.com/dhh/endless-execution-4157e065 This is from a broken man who sold out and does not even believe what he is saying. In general, I don't understand the hard right strategy with their two pronged attack on foreigners and the attack on local jobs via AI. The real fascists were at least careful to create jobs. What are DHH and Musk going to do with the surplus software engineers? Will they be inconvenienced by laid off engineers sleeping in the park? https://world.hey.com/dhh/wolves-sheep-and-gypsies-ba44af6a Or do perhaps DHH and Musk inconvenience the software engineers? Your choice to refuse AI or sink it by political means in an org.

The submissions is flagged of course. Who would want to discuss a fork of the most famous web framework when we can discuss a Muse 30B model that won't do anything useful on a regular PC?
