Exactly this, because tech discussion doesn’t usually split audience 50/50 and audience is usually more scientific.
When I am outlier with my comments, I can see maybe I am missing something. I am learning something useful everyday.
I'll have you know that vim is best, tabs are better than spaces, Vue is better than React, Microsoft - on balance - made the (tech) world a better place, everything should be full-stack js SPA's with server-side rendering, Prototype.js was better than jQuery, AI is only true AI when it is conscious, CSS-in-JS is an abomination, json needs to allow for comments and trailing commas, static typing is superior, Linus Torvalds should be nicer, microservices are the future, and significant whitespace is a good idea.
Like if you show me some examples from top 100 today, that is splitting audience 50/50, I think would be better.
And very often the resulting discussion doesn't really fare much better in finding agreement than non-tech discussions do. At least that's been my experience.
