Apparently I "missed out" on a lot of drama on the list today. I'm not going to touch pretty much anything that Corey/Atmos said and I hope he actually unsubscribed because frankly we don't need that BS. --- For the record, hoe's name has never been a double entendre. It has ALWAYS been named after a tool akin/related to rake. Since day one, the readme has opened with:
Hoe is a rake/rubygems helper for project Rakefiles.
Every release, every blog post, every email make that beyond clear. Well, apparently not ONE blog post. Oh well. That someone can take a 15 year old blog post THAT far out of context in order to manufacture some pretty misplaced outrage is bewildering to me; to then declare that the *software* is shitty because of said manufactured outrage is, well, kinda sad.
