  • IMO it’s the same situation as with POTUS45 and POTUS47 elections. Not talking about twisted facts and criminal behaviour would be to condone it and speaking out creates publicity.

    Word fascism got (intentionally)overloaded over the last decade and means very little to a lot of people, reducing it to equivalent of “jerk” rather than evoke memories and feelings towards atrocities of WWII etc. So we need a better language 'cause when we call someone fascist today many tune out.

    All of this is to say that I see nothing wrong with contents of the article but I suspect it has very little of desired effect due to the above. There must be a better way, but at the moment I do not know what is it.



  • From reading about Omarchy and community reactions it sounds like DHH is a successful grifter, milking money from corps with pictures of agentic promised land. HOWEVER grift will go bust at some point: does anyone remember SaaSpocalipse that did not materialize,along with numerous articles from people with degrees pointing out that there’s no data supporting claim that AI is actually making money for it’s peddlers or consumers. AI grifts will continue until “market” will finally acknowledge it for what it is (it’s just a new shiny tool, no more) and all the myths go bust and investors will want their money back. So - yes money got “stolen” from actual OSS projects that keep world’s lights on, yes vibecoding has not been proven to scale or endure multiple decades like Debian, Gentoo, Fedora etc. so it’ll collapse from technical standpoint, but it WILL collapse unless DHH will start applying those grants towards hiring engineers. Token money are not worth paper they are printed on so everybody just chill and let this trainwreck go off the cliff on it’s own. Shame DO got into it though… but for all the major cloud platforms who isn’t supporting fascism? What differs is the scale.
