  • The days of "Matz is nice, so we are nice" seem a distant memory of a bygone era. I suppose because they are.

  • I'm still heartbroken by how this has turned out, and it doesn't feel like things have gotten better over the last 9-10 months. I really feel in 10-20 years we will look back at these events as a dark time for this community. I hope to still be writing Ruby in that future. I hope the wounds here, both personal and professional, actually get healed.

    This is rich given they left in big part because of how much abuse they have received by "supporters" of André & co...

  • Did Arko ever explain why he was trying to sell access to Rubygem's web access logs?

  • That’s a heck of a thing for somebody to go through. I’m sorry man.

  • I thought Ruby Central were/had put this stuff behind them.

    why are they still threatening to sue Andre Arko, and reporting him to the fbi?!

    When I saw the postmortem or whatever it was called from schneems (and when I heard/saw he was involved and what he was doing) I really thought things were moving in the right direction.

    The PSF is a hellhole where everyone tries to cancel each other. People like David Mertz and Steve Holden [1] who supported other cancellations were cancelled themselves. And of course Tim Peters for opposing other cancellations.

    You are only secure in the corporate inner circle, just like in Ruby. Even there Google got tired of the antics and fired Python core developers.

    You use the PSF to gain influence and get a high salary with minimal work, inside and outside Python.
