I am not a particularly graceful or eloquent person as much as I want people I know and respect to stop waging open war against each other and to sit down and talk already.

How much more bloody do y'all want to make each other before you sit down and do what was always needed:

TALK.

This isn't going to lead to a particularly productive conversation.

Let me know if I can ever help around here.

Lord knows I've seen a lot of it with all the recent Ruby drama, though you already know my opinions there.

Agreed that there's a deep problem with internet culture becoming actively hostile towards anyone and everyone. There needs to be some systemic change here.

I had said that if anything happens to Shopify or they stop that it'd have a massive impact.

My point, simply, is that others needed to step up to the plate and help bear the load.

Even back in 2023 I mentioned this. Shopify does a significant amount both in terms of code as well as financial support.

For me my sticking point was not around their contributions, but that they were doing so almost effectively alone.

That fault lies with the community.

Agreed. I've also frequently called it some variant of augmentation.

I have a clean slate draft where I write angry two or three variants and then dev/null it

Not really, I just wanted to crack a YAML joke and I'm loathe to mention Rails.

They did. We call it Ansible now.

Rule #1 for me anymore: don't post angry.

Be forewarned, fan fiction is still definitely fan fiction.

I run out of episodes, then I go to the manga real fast, and then I run out of that and hope there's a light novel out there. After that we're getting out AO3.

the reason I advocate for projects to have a code of conduct is because harassment is never okay. not only is harassment never okay, harassing families and coworkers is even worse. get out of here with that.

Brandon Weaver @baweaver.bsky.social · 6d

Ruby community: Look, we can be angry about what's happening, we can raise our complaints, but under no circumstances should anyone _ever_ harass someone's families, coworkers, or friends.

That is completely unacceptable, and wholly against the ethos of the language. We must do better.

Hear hear. Critical public commentary on people's public views is one thing, going after people in their personal lives is wholly unacceptable and undermines any legitimate cause.

this is fucking beyond. written criticism in public is fine, this is absolutely 100% kick-you-out-forever behavior.
