To answer your first paragraph: neither.

I don't care because I'm just analyzing Vercel's stewardship of React, and Vercel's CEO political stance has zero impact on React's health.

This post is about React. Not about Gaza or politics, so I will give it exactly 0 seconds of thought when commenting on it.

> so I will give it exactly 0 seconds of thought when commenting on it.

You opened your post literally giving your thought about his political stance. Had you completely skipped this part, we'd be only discussing React and not Vercel's CEO stance.

Edit: Your quote can literally be understood as "His take doesn't bother me". If you didn't want to discuss this, you could (like someone else said) have worded it better to avoid confusion.

EXACTLY.

>Vercel's CEO political stance has zero impact on React's health

Sure it does! ReiserFS's popularity went way down after he murdered his wife.

And that's only from murdering one women and no children or men, so Reiser count of one kill (and holding steady) can't hold a candle to Netanyahu's mass murder kill count, which is rising fast by the day.

This might be one of the most naive statements I've ever read on this site.

Also, it's obviously not "just about React".

Why? Werner von Braun shouldn’t have been employed by the US, I think you’d agree. But also, his Nazi background didn’t preclude him from being a useful rocket scientist. Why does someone’s political ideas have any bearing on the merits of that person’s OSS technology (the thing this article is about).

Care to elaborate?

Just so that I'm following: You're saying that how the CEO is viewed does not in fact impact the company they are heading? And that the wave of people migrating from Vercel in light of Guillermo's post will not have any effect on React?

> And that the wave of people migrating from Vercel in light of Guillermo's post will not have any effect on React?

If anything, a positive one.

wait so now you're admitting it has an impact?

Obvious troll is obvious. I shouldn't have taken the bait but for a second I wanted to assume good intentions. You are obviously not asking in good faith and just want an excuse to act self-righteous.

So I'll let you do that. Alone. Bye.

lol. The moment Guillermo posted that picture, the internet was awash with blogs and pieces about how to move away from Vercel (who everyone now sees as the stewards of React).

This is actually kinda hilarious to have to respond to and explain to.

Just because you don't have principles, doesn't mean other people don't.

Cmon. You can't possibly believe actions don't have consequences, do you?

thank you

I think OP means "regardless of the CEO's political stance." And yes, your comment does sound self-righteous.
