The context for how this has gotten back on the radar:
Today, Suhail Doshi, founder/CEO of Mighty (and previously the founder/CEO of Mixpanel), tweeted [1]:
This week I've witnessed some of the most rude, mean spirited, dismissive people. I suspect IRL they're much different.
Meanwhile, there's been an outpouring of support, encouragement, and optimism to counter-act it all.
My team & family appreciate it. All fuel for fire.
I gather much of this happened in the HN thread [2], which included this gem [3]:
This is like a parody of the current state of affairs in modern web development. Except it's actually serious.
Sigh. I am so disappointed in our industry that tools like this even need to exist. It really makes me want to quit programming entirely
I guess it's up to all of us to reflect on our reactions to new products/concepts, and consider what it says about our own place in the world, and exactly what kind of "help" we want to offer to those who are expending effort to try and make something better.
