I've been a Rails dev for about 10 years, and I've always got the feeling that DHH very much enjoys drama, and purposefully stokes it and then escalates it. It's very much been a pattern for him. I tend to just ignore him these days, because whatever drama he's currently stoking usually has very little to do with my day to day usage of Rails.

I'm on the other hand under the impression that a lot of drama he creates is quite spot-on. A bit like Steve Jobs. Inconvenient thruths originating from a certain shrewdness.
