[@broccoli-dev]

People hate him because he likes dynamic typing. For some reason, a whole bunch of newer programmers, typically with less than 10 years experience, have become convinced that static typing is going to solve all of their problems. They take this enthusiasm for types to produce slow, feature-incomplete Rust or Typescript then switch over to Twitter to yap about how dynamic typing sucks.

[@_unknown_guy]

Adding CoffeScript was huge, we were writing ES6-ish JS ins 2012, then look at what Heroku did with deployments. Even something like NewRelic was pretty common in like 2014, free tier was good enough for a lot projects. RoR impact on web as whole has been quite big. There's definitely more areas it has left it's mark either it's Rails or tooling around it.

[@vasy-tech]

It still is, with its embracing of no build and front-end frameworks like Turbo which provide an SPA-like fidelity whilst still running on an SSR approach. Rails has been and still is at the frontier of pushing for simplicity and better approaches in web development. Maybe in 5 years when #nobuild has been embraced by more, we'll look back at this moment and say it all makes sense in retrospective. Rails is also doing crazy progress with Kamal -- which allows you to do no-downtime deployments to your VPS. Pretty damn gnarly.

Go is painful to me. I can't put my finger on why, but it's syntax just annoys me. Also hate it's import/ module system. And you have to do so much manually! Coming from Laravel, where everything is just there, easy, convenient and configurable, it just felt like a downgrade (despite the extreme performance boost over php).

[@metacatdude]

@@Dipj01 I used Laravel(10y+), but the sheer complexity made me leave it behind. And to be frank ;) go is programming language, laravel it's a framework, try to use bare php. Now with octane and swoole maybe, but is way of topic :). Fwiw, I don't like ruby (or rails) either. I can wrap my head around it for the life in me :). I think is the only major divergence I have from DHH. Like him, I understand the lang and its quirks and I move passed them. Go is clean over clever and the fact that it has almost no magic is bliss for me.

[@LiveType]

Go is awesome! The speedups you get even with simple stuff over python opened my eyes and now everything backend gets written in go. I found it very easy to pickup when I started experimenting with it in 2019. Python gets a little heavy handed with abstraction which go doesn't seem to suffer from at least nearly to the same extent.

[@kharyrobertson3579]

As someone who has been a huge enthusiast in regards to programming, and someone who has attempted to learn programming several times over the years, it was really encouraging to hear that there are others who break through the barrier of entry to become successful in coding. It's easy to fall into the mindset that all those guys who are doing high end coding are the savants and genius' of the coding world, and not just regular guys who worked hard and achieved a greater level of proficiency and knowledge than they had prior. Definitely a hugely encouraging segment of the video.

I tried ruby in anger for quite a bit, it is incomprehensible to me that anyone could like it 😅 Primarily: * I hate that transitive imports can alter lookup behavior for my own internals, among other bizzare scoping behavior * blocks are just perfectly not quite ever what i want in terms of behavior, and always for a slightly different reason * the obsession with "making it look pretty" means you often get different ways to spell the same thing with literally no difference, which i found really confusing. * And of course, no static types, with all the trade offs that has I'm sure there are plenty more I forgot. I want to be clear, this isn't an attack on anyone who does like Ruby, just a reminder that not everybody likes the same things you do, even if they "give it a fair try"

[@davidgillis5310]

@@SimonBuchanNz Those are all facts. As someone who has been using it as their primary language for nearly a decade, I’ll say that it’s kind of the polar opposite of using a typed language. And much more so than others like python and js. But all of these things you don’t like make it extremely powerful and flexible. It really shines for building domain specific languages. Metasploit, Homebrew, RSpec, Cucumber, and Rails are great examples of these DSLs and of what makes Ruby Ruby. If you try to write it like python or a typed language you will have a bad time.

[@labrat324]

Honest questions, you don't miss compile-time error checking going back to Ruby from Typescript? I can program large parts of a program without ever running it, thanks to static typing. How do you make sure arguments and return values are the right thing in your methods? Are you type/nil checking everything on the way in and out? If you aren't, aren't you writing bugs?

It's a little funny that DHH said that it's easier than becoming a millionaire since it's about the same amount of money that's needed to raise a kid if you include uni and med and stuff. Also the "%100 sure shot" part of his rant is a literal example of survivorship bias - for each of our ancestors that produced an offspring hundreds had died. Not to mention that there are many parents who have kids, but don't want or unfit to raise them. I'm glad though that he can talk this way about his kids. The dude's very charismaric and interesting to listen to

[@heyotetsuo]

Also, his comparison to ancient parents fighting saber toothed tigers suggests you should disregard a kid's education, health, and prosperity, just cause it could be worse. Yes parenthood is immensely rewarding, but discretion is not bad, it's good to want a solid plan, and you do not need to throw caution to the wind. Not everyone should have kids. Some parents abuse their kids. Some create broken homes. Some people regret parenthood for the rest of their lives. Parenthood can absolutely be the worst thing that ever happened to you. I've seen it. There was no nuance whatsoever to what he said. Maybe he assumes his audience is somewhat like him. No DHH, your audience is comprised of people so different than you, you can not even *fathom* it. Oh and he notes that "we need kids." As in, the world needs kids. So he's basically saying "the world is depending on you" to someone whose soul is already so crushed by reality that they won't even reproduce.

@@Parker8752same. I have a kid, I can relate and yet I don’t judge people that won’t have kids for any reason. And yes, I’ve heard about enough atrocities to conclude some people should only use their weewees for urinating.

I love how Teej is constantly amused and happy about hearing DHH go off.

bro was a millionaire at my age always feels good to hear LMAO

[@LeonardLangsdorf]

This was so amazing on stream I had to watch again

[@mohitkumar-jv2bx]

Me too!!

[@dblanken]

This is by far one my favorite videos I’ve seen in a long time. I’d love to see more like this-maybe back with DHH and you guys. This is my jam. 🎉

The world is CRUDable. Embrace CRUDs.

[@sbmb9613]

Its slightly more than CRUDable, but its a nice simplification expression. Events are a beautiful abstraction. We worship their capabilities over stateless CRUD and polling.

[@michimarz]

​@@sbmb9613 You're right, events are useful. But even events are CRUDable in a certain sense. They are created, read, updated, and deleted.

I love that Prime and TJ toss him a topic and get out of the way and let him get into a deep answer.

[@SoftIceCreamMan]

Theo must be in shambles, he is always trying to dunk on DHH. Its clear that he does not like DHH, and to see these 3 vibe like this must be hard.

[@mohitkumar-jv2bx]

Bro seriously, he must be pissed after watching this!!!.

[@hamm8934]

The whole part about the dog with a keyboard made me think of Theo. While a bit of an oversimplification, if you see enough Theo interactions, he is quite sympathetic to this position. “jUsT sHiP! fOunDeR mOdE!!!!”

[@_DATA_EXPUNGED_]

Well, Theo has been going a bit off the rails lately, imho. Always tries to claim how deep his channel goes into the intricacies of react & co - sadly I could never find those deep dives anywhere. Mostly just overviews and news, combined with SV-libertarianism and a general reluctance to accept criticism, to say it nicely. It feels like he only uses the channel for viral marketing of his stuff now, not a passion project anymore. And then those bonkers videos about topics far, far outside his area of competence... he really does know much less than he thinks he does. And, of course, his ego is big enough and filled with enough hot air he could run a balloon flight business. He's no prime, that much is safe to say.

[@SoftIceCreamMan]

@@_DATA_EXPUNGED_ Yep, Theo is engagement farming to market his products and to get Twitter-money, its all good his audience is probably younger people who likes edgy stuff and drama, he just comes off as unlikeable.

[@BennyDeeDev]

Theo and Prime are opposing extremes, I feel like most of us are in the middle

[@QuantumCloud87]

From someone who spends time enjoying listening to TJ and Prime, I loved this (even though between them they said about 10 sentences). This was an amazing episode, you definitely need to get him back on!
