Damn, he sure does go to town with this one. I didn’t know things were so messed up for him regarding Rails. Its a real shame to see him want to leave so bad cause the guy is brilliant and we all love Mongrel. It is almost hard to believe some of it but then again I’ve heard a whole lot of stuff about the Rails core team.
Its a long, PISSED OFF rant, but entertaining none-the-less. I’m not sure just what to say about it all yet but I have to say the best part is the DHH part where he said they used to need 400 restarts a day!!
