normalize the inverse of minaswan; when you stop being nice, so do i

(this is mostly a joke, it would be bad to normalize inverse minaswan further. but it would also be satisfying)

MINASWAN for me, not for thee.

I think it’s important to remember that the prevailing philosophy in the Ruby community is MINASWAN (Matz is nice and so we are nice) not DINASWAN (David is nasty and so we are nasty).

A little moment of bragging — got an @xoruby.com pin from @jremsikjr.bsky.social while attending @rmrubyconf.bsky.social.
Looks great and will be a nice reminder of the XO Ruby series and the warm MINASWAN community it represents.

Yep. This is as far away from MINASWAN as it can probably get. It's our duty to speak up.
"If you are trans, a migrant, black, overweight, childless, have ADHD, then in DHH’s view you are somehow inferior. Instead of raising up and supporting the marginalised and vulnerable, DHH choses to exclude and punch down. This is not something the Ruby community can continue to simply ignore." 🎯
The Ruby community has a DHH problem

Kindness can, and should, be an intentional design constraint in programming languages and their communities. Ruby was started with the philosophy of creating a joyful experience for programmers, and MINASWAN must be reclaimed.

P.S. And, DHH made it sound like Shopify is making the same decisions as him, so good riddance to them as well given their discriminatory unethical ways. Go enjoy Native Rusting and let real MINASWAN Rubyists continue using Ruby the right way!

Dramatic entrance from @matz.bsky.social as he rose up from a trap door on the stage lift before his keynote! Building on the theme he talked about at EuRuKo the focus was a Programming Language for the AI Age #rubykaigi #minaswan

I hope Ruby Central does better. I hope the new team is supported by Ruby Central, and the community gets the transparency they deserve.
I guess I'll close this out by mentioning one of my guiding principles for many years now, because it seems relevant, especially since folks mentioned "MINASWAN".

Exactly 2069 years ago today, poor Caesar, just 5 years after crossing the Rubicon, was stabbed to death 23 times by senators and his own son, Brutus.
Not very MINASWAN of them, for sure!

#RailsWorld was a good one.
But for #BalticRuby conference next year will be focusing more on #Ruby and then #Rails alternatives, so #Hanami is going to be one of our tracks.
That was awesome to meet @matz.bsky.social there and keep #MINASWAN mood.
