The Ruby community is very good interpersonally from my experience. It's a culture that I think comes from this:

Unfortunately, the rails community are the visible minority, and they follow DHH's example more than Matz's.

David Heinemeier Hansson[1] for anybody else that was confused about what "DHH" referred to.

Tenderlove, the super nice guy who submitted that PR is on Rails core. Too bad to hear he's part of the evil visible minority that you just made up in your head.

We were talking about the overall culture of the rails community. Nor did I intend to imply the DHH was evil, just abrasive.

"nice" != "good"
