Hi!
DHH (co-founder of Basecamp) announced yesterday that they’re making their group chat software open source and free for everyone to use. This is fantastic news, especially considering this piece of software previously required a $299 payment just to access the codebase (far too expensive, in my opinion).
It looks like we now have another excellent open source alternative to Slack and Microsoft Teams, thanks to this move. I really hope more companies will follow this trend soon.
What are your thoughts?
Sigh, why build this with Ruby on rails :/
They, the owning company, also created Rails. So everything they have is made with it.
Ruby on Rails developer here, why is that bad? Honestly Python feels old and shitty, PHP is a joke, and I can’t think of any other language I’d prefer.
(It was a joke about DHH creating ROR, and a company owned by DHH creating a product using ROR.)
