Rich Harris reads his mean DHH tweet out loud 🤣

so yeah I don't know should we like pull up that tweet and read it out loud Jared like I I'm not logged on to Twitter on this machine um and I'll have to pull up it up on my phone well I think I'm sure Rich has it open you got that cool tweet there which is like which is like it's embedded it's a feed embedded in my brain it's the biggest mistake over the last week It's gotta be right I'm already live stream I'm what he's like I'm recording this podcast through Twitter like it's like through an iframe on next.com you know so a little bit of context around so David hennemeyer Hansen he's a creator

of Ruby on Rails he's a very outspoken developer and business guy uh quasi-professional contrarian he's very good at taking a contrarian View and he has a library called turbo which is a JavaScript library that helps your website go faster by basically hijacking anchor clicks and replacing them with Ajax non-fold page refreshes it's a long-standing thing that's on its eighth version it's gone through a lot of iterations actually we use it the older

older turbo five I think on chainsaw.com have used it for for many years it's it's decent software and it's an open source project that's pretty much controlled and managed by him and his company and they took typescript out of Turbo not the way that spelled did it with JS dot comments but just by actually removing it wholesale and dhh wrote a blog post about why they did this and he had a tweet about it which Rich has now found

which says so farewell typescript may you bring much rigor and satisfaction to your tribe while letting the rest of us enjoy JavaScript in the Glorious Spirit it was originally designed free of strong typing so that's I think probably a pull quote from the blog post as his typical fare is so that's the context and then Rich uh you should read this in your Jay-Z voice you know or or your Barry White voice

either one you know I gotta find my own tweet now yeah I like the Barry White Boys okay here we go you want me to read out my own tweet this is oh I can pretend guitar okay so just again for context a lot of people had already had already been attacking this sounds like I'm an absolute psycho okay okay okay this is like this is like being forced with your bad decisions like like you know like the morning after I'm sorry I'm sorry to

make you read your naughty tweet online it's been a little bit longer on this tweet and thought a bit more about the reaction I probably should change some of the wording but here we go okay here we go did you know that you were gonna be reading it out loud I'm just kidding enough removing types from your own code is clownish epically misguided Behavior but whatever to each their own removing types from a library that other people have to use however is just use a hostile Pottery is that even a word that

we can yeah that might even be something hard to find out whether or not it gets played but it's a great it's a great turn of phrase I think I have to admit [Music]
