DHH is probably one of the top software artisans of the past decade. Hearing him speak with this much conviction and transparency about one of the most polarizing topics in software right now, writing code by hand vs. with AI, is something pretty much every software engineer should hear a few times.
Especially those still on the wrong side of history.
Larry Ellison just asked the one question no journalist on Earth can answer.
A Wall Street Journal writer told Ellison to his face that Elon Musk doesnโt know what heโs doing.
Ellison didnโt argue. Didnโt get emotional. He just asked a question.
Ellison: โThis guy is landing rockets on robot drone rafts in the ocean, and youโre saying he doesnโt know what heโs doing. You ever land a rocket?โ
One question. No recovery.
Ellison: โWho are you? Why should I believe you as opposed to my friend Elon?โ
This is the question the entire media class has been dodging for a decade. Who are you to judge? What have you built? What have you shipped? What problem have you solved that didnโt involve a keyboard and a deadline?
Ellison: โYouโre there in front of your Apple Macintosh typing up an article saying Elonโs an idiot.โ
They sit behind a laptop they did not engineer. Using a network they did not build. Running on silicon they cannot explain. To tell the world that the man sending humans to space doesnโt know what heโs doing.
They have never built anything heavier than a Word document.
And they publish it with absolute certainty.
Thatโs the part that should disturb you. Not the criticism. The confidence behind it. The total absence of self-awareness it takes to judge disciplines you wouldnโt last a single semester in.
Musk does not operate in opinion. He operates in the physical layer of the universe where the math closes or the rocket does not come home.
His critics operate in a text editor.
He built the vehicle that carries NASA astronauts to the International Space Station. The satellite constellation delivering internet to active war zones. The EV that forced every automaker on Earth to abandon their combustion roadmap.
His loudest critics built a byline.
So why the coordinated hatred?
Because they lost the leash.
The attacks didnโt escalate because Musk got worse at engineering. They escalated because he bought X. He cracked open the algorithm. He handed the public square back to the people. And he shattered their ability to control what youโre allowed to think.
They donโt hate the engineer.
They hate that the engineer took their monopoly.
You cannot cancel a rocket. You cannot publish a hit piece on gravity. You cannot edit the laws of physics.
They own the syntax.
He owns the physics.
One of them is going to Mars.
To all freedom haters:
I was born in Lebanon โ and born again in the United States.
I lived in hell and came to paradise.
I was shot 10 times in my legs and knees. A Jewish Lebanese doctor saved me so I could walk again. I was left to die โ but in America, Jews and Christians helped me rebuild my life.
They wanted me to grow up with hate. I found love instead.
I came here with $20 in my pocket. I worked, I struggled, and I succeeded. I built a normal life and a beautiful family.
A Christian gave me the opportunity of a lifetime.
A Jewish lawyer signed a promissory note so I could buy my first home.
A Jewish woman, like a mother to me, brought me a Star of David from Israel โ and I still hold it close to my heart.
While some wanted me to stay bitter, America gave me dignity.
Thatโs why, besides my full-time job, I volunteered for about 15 years as a firefighter and reserve police officer โ unpaid โ just to say thank you.
You can believe whatever you want. But you will never convince me that Americans and Israelis are not good people.
I stand with America โ with people of all religions and none.
And I stand with Israel and the Jewish people.

Holy shit. Wow.
This is HANDS DOWN the best take Iโve heard.
If there is one video you listen to today itโs this one.
Every single word of this and itโs a huge โf*ck youโ to @antonioguterres for propping up the barbaric terrorist Islamic Regime in Iran.
Must be shared everywhere in my opinion.
Unfortunately I have no idea who this young British woman is to credit her, if you know who it is feel free to tag below.
Trump, Rubio, Hegseth. Who ever could have imagined the United States, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Israel could have joined together to end the worst terrorist regime of the modern era. A stunning diplomatic, military, humanitarian achievement.
All we needed was a new President.
In less than 120 seconds, Dr. Eli David exposed how the entire world and the mainstream media donโt care about the massacres in Iran because they canโt blame the Jews.
This MUST go viral.
