It’s nice that people are finally starting to write about what a coke fuelled POS DHH is. People within the Ruby community have known this for years. the fact that he is where he is because of some truly horrible PHP is mind boggling.
It’s not a foundation. It COULD HAVE been one but in typical coke fuelled ranting DHH fashion he blogged about how the money would go towards marketing thus, womp womp, no tax exempt foundation for you buddy.
yeah it’s bad that the omarchy community has taken the DHH kool-aid. I watched a video lastnight of a guy from India who was praising Omarchy and said all the hate was because purely of DHH and not understanding why. It was like “My guy, he made comments directed towards YOU and YOUR People specifically about living in London. He doesn’t want YOU to using his distro”.
their “plugin store” is just the wild west of exploits and slop. well over 1000 plugins, all vibe coded, majority exploitable.
If you install Omarchy on anything other than a VM I’m sorry but you’re an idiot and this “distro” is a massive disservice to new comers to Linux.
just the first one off the top of my head: https://tekin.co.uk/2025/09/the-ruby-community-has-a-dhh-problem
His original claim to fame was building a gaming website in the early 00s utilizing some really poorly written php. a friend then asked him to essentially build basecamp because said friend didn’t know any better and DHH was the only person that kinda sorta knew what he was doing. he got lucky with ruby on rails (what he used to build basecamp) cause his previous stuff was really bad.
