Was this a summary, or just one dude bitching about another dude’s choice?

I like DHH, I’m glad the less-used tools have an advocate in him. There is a trend to winner-takes-all in software, it’s great when other systems/approaches are championed. I think DHH did a good job of explaining why moving out of the cloud worked for his situation and not others. I think he did a worse job explaining why moving to JS and away from TS is good for him. But he was upfront that it’s mostly a personal/subjective choice. He could have handled the transition better, but I think the destination they got to was fine.
