Looking through the commit graph for Omarchy is wild. It has 2000+ commits, most of which contain the type of intermediary work pushed into the trunk that you'd see from a jr who doesn't squash their local work

Also some gems like: https://github.com/basecamp/omarchy/commit/af72a45dbd4358bca...

> Remove non-existent vibe-code hallucinated options and clean up theme files

or https://github.com/basecamp/omarchy/commit/4fedfbe9f19303046...

There's also Omakub[0] which was sort of a precursor to Omarchy that gives users the `wget <some url> | bash` as a means of installation where the install script is a thin wrapper around another `eval $(wget <some url>` that then git clones a repository and executes a 3rd script.

That's definitely the kinds of patterns I'd expect some prolific software engineer to use and also encourage complete novices to Linux to be comfortable just piping arbitrary wgets into a shell

It’s as if DHH is so confident in their own work that they skip all the foundational steps and best practices -- even on an operating system project.

The un-squashed commits are just the tip of the iceberg, but the installation method is the most egregious.

Omarchy's distribution and install is the kind of thing I'd expect to see from a college project, not a leader in the tech world. I don't see DHH as a leader in anything except controversy and clicks these days, though, so the cheerleading around Oma-anything confuses me.
