Thanks for saying that. Yeah, it is about this time we live in. It's like the internet was supposed to make us all more open minded to new info, but instead all the unfamiliar-to-each-of-us-info made us all more hard-shelled and narrow minded. So anything not part of our worldview is a scary threat that we need to respond with hostility to.

It doesn't matter what's true. It matters what confirms existing biases. Paradoxically I think people used to be more open minded before the internet, because it was safe to be. They weren't swimming in a infinite ocean of unfamiliar new ideas, they could afford to be open without much risk of having to do the hard work of challenging their beliefs and updating their worldview at every turn.

It is totally about marketing budget as well. In this age of "outside my worldview is fearful, I must respond with hostility" a consequence is you get more group-think and safety in numbers type behavior. So it is easy with enough capital to create these tribes of zealots for particular stacks. It's not adaptive, it's not true, but that doesn't matter. It's safe and comforting.

I just don't wanna work with tools that suck, as I guess you don't too.
