Nah, fuck 'em. Call out corpo bullshit where you see it. Github is just LinkedIn for people with compsci degrees now.




And what's wrong with that? Even if you're right, just don't use it, why insult and denigrate people?

Because they deserve to know they're making the world a worse place.

And does that require dehumanizing them? The hypocrisy! I would bet dollars-to-donuts you can't write better code than the people who worked on actions.

GitHub is definitely not making the world a worse place. Touch grass.

Ok, fine; that was hyperbole. They are incrementally making their product worse in very visible ways and for some reason refuse to fix it or change course. I mean, in introducing these inconveniences to their users they are technically making the world worse, but sure, not in a way that matters.

And that rises to the bar of "insult and denigrate people" to you? Because you're annoyed with their recent product decisions?

No, corpo bullshit rises to the "insult and denigrate people" level. Bad product decisions are forgivable, even understandable. We all make bad decisions. Microsoft's recent product decisions and corporate direction, meanwhile, should be viewed as hostile.
