达维德·海涅迈尔·汉松

戴维·海涅迈尔·汉松（丹麦语：David Heinemeier Hansson，网络代号DHH，1979年10月15日—），生于丹麦哥本哈根，程式员、作家、赛车手与企业家，为Ruby on Rails与Instiki的最初作者。他也创建了Omarchy，一个专为开发者打造的预配置版Arch Linux。

生平

1990年，戴维·汉松在丹麦建立了一个线上游戏新闻网站Daily Rush。一直营运到2001年。

他用PHP进行编码的网站作品，获得Jason Fried的注意后，他被雇用来开发一个以网页为基础的项目管理工具。这后来成为37signals公司的产品Basecamp，这是一个软件即服务的产品。

为了加快开发速度，戴维·汉松用Ruby开发了一个Web应用框架。在2004年，戴维·汉松把这个Web应用框架，从Basecamp这个专案中分离出来，以开放源代码方式释出，成为Ruby on Rails。

在哥本哈根商学院取得计算机科学与企业管理的学士学位后，戴维·汉松在2005年11月由丹麦搬到美国伊利诺伊州的芝加哥市。

政治

2025年，汉松发表了一篇部落格文章，表达了对英国极右翼活动家汤米·罗宾逊以及2025年英国反移民抗议活动的支持。作为回应，Ruby on Rails社群的一些成员呼吁将其从专案管理中移除。

David Heinemeier Hansson, also known by his initials DHH, is a Danish programmer, writer, entrepreneur, and racing driver. He is the creator of Ruby on Rails, a web framework written in Ruby. He also created Omarchy, an Arch Linux distribution catered towards developers. He is also a partner and chief technology officer at the web-based software development firm 37signals.

Hansson co-wrote Agile Web Development with Rails with Dave Thomas in 2005 as part of The Facets of Ruby Series. He also co-wrote Getting Real: The Smarter, Faster Easier Way to build a Web Application, Rework, Remote: Office Not Required, and It Doesn't Have to Be Crazy at Work with Jason Fried.

Hansson has come under controversy for publishing racist remarks on his blog.

Programming career

Hansson learned PHP in high school while creating gaming review sites. Although he initially did not intend to become a programmer, his interest in expanding his sites' features led him to pursue programming professionally. In 1999, Hansson founded and built a Danish online gaming news website and community called Daily Rush, which he ran until 2001. After attracting the attention of Jason Fried by offering him help with PHP coding, Hansson was hired by Fried to build a web-based project management tool, which ultimately became 37signals' Basecamp software as a service product. To aid the development process, Hansson used the then-relatively obscure Ruby programming language to develop a custom web framework. He released the framework separately from the project management tool in 2004 as the open source project Ruby on Rails. In 2005, Hansson was recognized by Google and O'Reilly with the "Hacker of the Year" award for his creation of Ruby on Rails. After graduating from the Copenhagen Business School and receiving his bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Business Administration, Hansson moved from Denmark to Chicago, Illinois, U.S. in November 2005.

Racing career

Heinemeier Hansson lists photography and race car driving amongst his many hobbies. He took part in the 2012 24 Hours of Le Mans driving for OAK Racing. He also drove a Morgan-Nissan P2 car for Conquest Racing in the American Le Mans Series (ALMS), winning two races in the season. Heinemeier Hansson joined OAK Racing full-time in 2013, taking five second-place finishes to finish second in the Trophy for LMP2 Drivers. During the 2017 24 Hours of Le Mans post-race technical checks, certain irregularities were detected on the Vaillante Rebellion team's No. 13 Oreca 07-Gibson, resulting in the car's disqualification.

In July 2010, it was revealed that Heinemeier Hansson was the person that had commissioned the one-off Pagani Zonda HH supercar. He also commissioned the Koenigsegg Agera HH, which was sold in 2022 to Houston Crosta, a YouTube video creator in Las Vegas. It has now been sold to car spotting YouTuber, TheStradman. Heinemeier Hansson also purchased an Aston Martin Valkyrie.

Controversy

Following a number of controversial decisions at Basecamp led by Hansson, including the 2021 banning of political discussion and an internal list of "funny" customer names with racial and ethnic overtones as well as later blog posts published by Hansson himself such as his criticisms of DEI programs, Duke University Libraries announced its decision in 2023 to discontinue usage of the Basecamp product.
