The cognitive dissonance between a really nice vacation (in Denmark no less) and seeing my professional community getting shred to pieces is breaking my brain. I should have ignored the latter this week, but I really couldn't.

Honestly, Rails was a career changer for me. I was never the biggest DHH fan, but I owe large parts of my career to the works of him (and countless others, of course).

This hurts. I'm not sure what to make of it. I'll fight but is it worth it?
