This has a pretty reasonable timeline, and correctly gives credit to Carl and Yehuda. So do the github logs obviously, though that's a lot to scroll back through to find :D

Yep. André is almost certainly the source for that. There have been historical issues before with him deliberately removing references to or access from Carl and Yehuda, who are themselves not credit-hogs or conflict-seekers so they mostly ignore it... but he 100% is not a creator. No ambiguity.
I appreciate you correcting the record! This is unfortunately not the first instance of this kind of erasure in the Bundler project and I assume no ill-intent on your part <3
For context, I was there at the time, and responsible for some of the funding and project startup work in my role at EY. I was also the one who initially encouraged André to take on more of a leadership role based on internal EY considerations, so this feels particularly disingenuous :(
It really is. Bundler was created by Yehuda Katz and Carl Lerche, and for a long time it was *just* them. André came along meaningfully later and indeed did lots of work, but he was 100% not involved in the creation or conception.
André is not the creator of Bundler, and this erases the hard work of the folks who *did* create it. Happy to help point you in the direction of numerous sources documenting that *actual* creators, but it's also common knowledge and obvious from the history. Any plans to correct this error?
It's completely inaccurate and rewrites history to erase some people who worked REALLY hard. It's been bothering me that no one seems to be noticing that "little" error... so thanks for making me feel less gaslit :p
In light of today's Ruby chaos, this article has been bugging me. André did *not* create Bundler, nor has that ever been the narrative. Did he actually claim he *did*, or did you perhaps misunderstand...?
