Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

@dgerard I feel kids sorry for Matz that he had to deal with this. He’s an (almost too) nice guy and I suspect he really, *really* didn’t want to have to. Props to him for doing it, though.

@dgerard good. Now take over Rails.

This just seems to be the legitimising of Ruby Central stealing RubyGems and Bundler. Hell, the person who originally did all the maintainer fuckery on the GitHub repos (Hiroshi Shibata) is a member of Ruby core, so this could have very well been the plan all along.

@dgerard I'm just using the stuff, hope it stays reasonably secure and available. Is this https://biggo.com/news/202510171913/_Ruby-Core-Takes-Over-RubyGems-Bundler a correct run-down of the sequence of events?
