DHH isn't an entertainer? He writes and speaks about his life and biz, and others' businesses/business in general, just like Mark Twain and George Carlin, and people pay money for his books and speaking engagements. Sounds like entertainment to me.
And if you haven't heard people cussing in "professional contexts," you must not work with any designers or developers of any caliber. Or serious businessmen and women. Unless you live and work in Utah or in a church, perhaps?
I said, "in public," and no, I have not heard anybody professional of stature rant like a baby like DHH did. Writing and speaking about your life and biz does not make you like George Carlin or Mark Twain. I do both of those things, and I am not even close to being the entertainer or cultural icons those people are. Nor does the fact that you talk about yourself and your accomplishments entitle you to belittle people or act like an idiot and pretend it's part of your profession.
