Thanks for the perspective Matthias. I find myself constantly torn between the two camps. Paul Graham and YC representing one side and DHH and Basecamp the other. I see beauty on both sides. And I think there is a lot fertile middle ground…
The "move slow and fix things" side that developers really need to be listening to right now is Daniel J. Bernstein, Colin Percival, and the handful of other people who build services that mostly don't get hacked.
Absolutely not. DHH is toxic. We can do a lot better.
