Tldr but the article's author seems to not know / mention Omarchy is developed by a raging racist?

That's probably a good choice, since it makes a perfect response to "politics shouldn't matter, here, just merit." Turns out...

And the merit of dhh is highly tarnished by him being an overall piece of shit. No, politics always matters.

And it also should come into focus when it's about a highly opinionated piece of software

I agree that creating is inherently political, because politics pervades creation whether we choose the politics or not, but that's not a useful argument after somebody says "it doesn't matter to me." If you want to get into that shouting match, it's your time to waste.

My point is that, behind the garbage philosophy, we also now know that it's garbage technology, so all these people telling us about their utopian meritocracy where we just ignore bigotry are exposed as full of it. Cloudflare, Framework, and so forth, are not only OK with Great Replacement rhetoric, but also incapable of telling solid software from broken, and that's a stronger indictment than just trying to drag the conversation back to the bigotry.

Ooh that's a strong argument. Kudos!
