> Putting aside GitHub’s relationship with ICE, it’s abundantly clear that the talented folks who used to work on the product have moved on to bigger and better things, with the remaining losers eager to inflict some kind of bloated, buggy JavaScript framework on us in the name of progress. This says more about the author than anything else.

The author of the article is the creator of the Zig language. This is par for the course for him. He's quite a bit like Linus [1]. He needs to start following his own advice [2].

That they don't support a nationalistic paramilitary organization that requires its members to be masked and never known by the public so they cant be held accountable? A nationalized KKK is not something to ever support.

  I don't care about ICE one way or another, but calling people "monkeys" and "losers" because they're not building a product to your exact specifications is extremely childish. It seems to me that the real "losers" are the ones spending so much time bitching and moaning about a software platform they don't like.

      What an incredibly arrogant statement. Not everyone is American for starters.

        It’s still a political position to take to not care about things that happen in other countries. (I’m not American either, not that it should matter.)

        Not being an American is a privileged position regarding an issue that negatively affects Americans. It's no different than if I, an American, fail to care about, say, Hungary's slide into autocracy. I am privileged to be able to not care about it.

        By that definition, "privileged" looses all meaning, as there is an infinite number of injustices in the universe, and no one is affected by all of them.

But they renamed the master branch, doesn't that excuse any ICE associations?
