DHH is more insufferable than ever

I feel sorry for the Ruby/Rails community that this is (was) their main ambassador and in charge of their main conference. Aside from his racism, xenophobia, and other questionable political views, he acts like a complete blowhard and doubles down when he's wrong.

Here he's just outright spreading misinformation just so he can wishcast programming languages and having to think about code away.

I'm glad those in Elixir community like Jose, Zach, and others took the basic effort of challenging the results put out by DHH and what was uncovered was a) Rust version was heavily optimized over several days, 4 contributors, 1 of those contributors being a Rust programmer, and 300+ commits. Meanwhile Elixir/Go were done all by DHH (meat proxy for Claude) as one-shots in 2-3 commits.

Again, as someone currently working as a Rails dev, but use Elixir on side projects, I really feel for the Ruby/Rails community.

For those who still think Delcy Rodriguez hasn't sold out Venezuela: Trump hails 'historic' deal for US to control 65bn barrels of Venezuela's oil

This essentially gives total control of Venezuela's oil to the US in the hopes that Venezuela gets tax revenue. Given the US' word isn't worth the paper it's written on, this is a massive sellout to the Americans.

Delcy Rodriguez will go down in history as betraying the Bolivarian revolution. I don't want to hear she no other options. Some countries fight, others sell out their nations wealth to the empire. Delcy did the latter
