> Who do you think are the best (most technically informed and productive)
That's quite the framing. I'd say the trajectory count way more than how productive you are to follow it in assessing someone is good.
I don't know but it's certainly not some washed up nazi Ruby developer?
If you're referring to DHH, nothing indicates he is a nazi. At most, he holds some fairly normal anti immigration and right wing views. Diluting the term nazi like that is bad.
You could probably say the same about most of the Nazi-supporting German public as well as most of the loyal party members, prior to/during WW2. Less extreme examples can still fit the description without diluting the term. Having views similar to Nazis is becoming normalized more than the term Nazi is being diluted.
Having views similar to nazis is only bad if those views themselves are bad. Guilt by association is so boring and tribal.
