I have always found it odd that people seem to feel the need to personally like the creator of something.

- jsjohnst 9y agoThere’s a difference between liking someone (which doesn’t really matter) and trusting their judgement (which is what I think folks mean here). I feel it’s somewhat important for the later to be true, especially with security related software.
- lvh 9y agoIs there evidence that this generally leads to more security vulnerabilities? Is there evidence that specifically in WG, Jason's (technical) judgement has been flawed? (I think the answer is "no" in both cases. Disclaimer: my company also donated to WG development, specifically to get cross-platform support :))
- jsjohnst 9y agoI could make arguments for both sides on both your questions. I wasn’t voicing an opinion there however as I’ve not seen enough to have one yet.
