DHH purpose-built a tool so this guy could build a career on it. The guy delightfully uses the tool to get rich. And he wants to hate DHH--probably does--but no, DHH *owes him more*. And has lots of advice for DHH about how to manage his own creation.

The entitlement in 2026 is so wildly off the charts.

Why does the author know better than DHH how to lead rails? How does the author know how the community will react to the keynote?

Maybe the author doesn't understand the use-case for rails? I think DHH does. With enough success, there comes a day that you move your product off of rails.

Rails is great for agentic coding, which DHH also said.
