The core of Rails has stood the tests of time. To this day, it is a great way to build web applications. But DHH’s view of the world is fundamentally incompatible with mine, and I’m not the only one who feels that way. About a year ago, a bunch of people, including me, signed an open letter to the core team to finally cut ties with him and hard fork Rails. That, unfortunately, did not happen. So it’s time that we do it ourselves.
