I am glad the article finally made it through who/whatever is trying to keep it down. But, c'mon Dan. I posted this 23 hours ago. That post is 2 hours old. How did it get flagged as a dupe? I searched before posting and could not

Just fyi, your website currently states you are looking for React, React Native and TypeScript people for frontend. Flutter is a completely different kettle of fish.

It seems to me like companies have gotten away with virtue signaling without performing any meaningful change for a long time. So, the fact that this article (and others like it) is getting so much attention now feels like a sea change. Or
