What evidence do you have of infiltration beyond the fact that you don't like what the speaker said? It's a pretty extraordinary charge that someone would become a computer programmer and become a teacher of programming purely in order to give a conference talk that seems to suggest, at root, that we consider how our programs treat people. What a revolutionary!

The author is trying to replace one system of thought with another, that's a fact. I think it's baseless to assume if the intention of the author was to originally pursue this motive or to suggest improvements after being apart of the community for a period of time.

> What evidence do you have of infiltration beyond the fact that you don't like what the speaker said? There is no confirmation whether or not I 'like' the authors opinions or essay. Careful not to fall into the same kind of dismissiveness your attempting to criticize. There is no shelf life on entryism. Disgruntled ideologues live out there lives trying to subvert and destroy other peoples hard work and turning that destruction into personal gain. Some of these people have managed to cling onto the tech and hacker community and make 'public personalities' out of themselves. There biggest platform is conferences and public speaking events. Where they can orate carefully constructed monologues without any scrutiny or disagreement from the audience, often with a hansom speaking fee. "Lets institute a new behaviour code based on vague pleasantries and inclusively" This looks like a variation on the Codes of Conduct strategy of subversion and political purging that entryists have tried to use for the past few years. It has been an unsuccessful strategy but they have succeeded in outing themselves and there intentions.
