From DHH’s long-winded keynote at Rails World 2026. He was bragging that Hey’s backend is so efficient because it’s written in Rust (which he hates and refuses to read).

Ain’t this the same guy who vibe coded a distro and somehow managed to land a shitton of money from that?
Basically started as a glorified bunch of dotfiles. Haven’t checked whether or not it’s actually a distro yet.
But yeah, bunch of rich people threw a couple million at him, presumably because he’s a racist and their interests align.
I really can’t imagine that being about his project, especially when there are tens, if not hundreds of thousands of other critically-important and chronically under-funded open-source projects.
IMO it’s 100% who and 0% what.
