Telling Ruby coders that performance doesn't matter before rewriting everything in Rust for performance. Apart from hobbyist how will the Ruby community survive ? With friends like that ...

Hey and Basecamp suck. Basic features like search barely work, the iOS and Android apps are embarrassingly bad, and the UI looks like it was designed for Netscape Navigator 4. With Rails, dhh spent years trying to work around JavaScript , leaving the framework increasingly difficult to recommend in 2026. Why on earth would you trust him with your OS ? Even if you share his politics, you deserve better software.

I'm with you. And beyond his political views, I've never been particularly impressed by anything he's built, from Basecamp to HEY. I can at least understand why some people admire Elon Musk because of what he's accomplished, even if I don't share that admiration. But the almost cult-like devotion some people have for DHH is a complete mystery to me.

This is really a great idea. While fancy these piano tuts are quite useless compared to something like guitar tabs. Hope it will improve

It looks a lot like other Spiekermann’s font like Fira Sans or Meta Sans. Humanists fonts have been so overused by big corps that I’m not sure I want to have it in my ui.

You can prevent that without using the army. A country using its army against its own people is not a thing a democratic country does.

And talkers… How many thinkers died without self promoting their ideas ? How many doers didn’t have the ressources to execute their ideas ?

Yep 90% power chords and the sound on Nevermind was in part due to Butch Vig. It’s simple but at the time quite unheard : bit of compression a lot of overdub, maybe a little flange/chorus but it was quite minimal compared to heavy metal, guitar heroes of the time and really different from the punk bands.

I support the conclusion, but khtml should have been mentioned somewhere.

Well, Apple Health fixed this for me.

Why using grunt on a new project ?

From their FAQ : « Hey doesn’t support IMAP or POP ». Time to write a blog post about how to easily switch from Hey to another mail provider
