Why don't more people use Linux? - DHH (world.hey.com)

And Linux isn't minimal effort. It's an operating system that demands more of you than does the commercial offerings from Microsoft and Apple. Thus, it serves as a dojo for understanding computers better. With a sensei who keeps demanding you figure problems out on your own in order to learn and level up.

...

That's why I'd love to see more developers take another look at Linux. Such that they may develop better proficiency in the basic katas of the internet. Such that they aren't scared to connect a computer to the internet without the cover of a cloud.

random fatphobia in the opening paragraph followed by programmer elitism.

Dude seems well adjusted and pleasant. Overall point isn't wrong though.

I'm quite skinny and I also think I should exercise more and eat less junk food. There isn't any fat phobia there, it targeted me just as well.

What is fatphobia? I think he was just saying it's easier to let yourself go and turn into a blob than to stay healthy. Definitely true no?

Welcome to the DHH Show! He’ll be forever, no matter how many people beg him to stop.

I used to work as a sysadmin/dev/monkey/serverwrencher and in my experience there are 3 main groups:

  • queer happy people who enjoy being weird.
  • serious quiet nerdy men.
  • people who think Christian Bale's portrayal of Patrick Bateman was meant to be aspirational.
