You're the one forcing identity politics into this thread, by digging up a one year old unrelated article.
I actually agree with you when you say that software development and identity politic don't overlap.
So please, practice what you preach and stop trying to bring identity politics on an interesting subject about OSS and perfectionism.
- VLM 8y agoThe linked article is about the author actively changing their identity from FOSS dev to math researcher, and commenting about their identity of perfectionism. Entirely a commentary on the noun of identity, nothing on the verb of performing their identity. Chrome word search finds 77 instances of the capital letter "I" followed by space. Its harder to search on verbs, the word "Do " appears 8 times but mostly in comments. The subject of the post and discussion is personal identity, not personal actions or philosophy of action or whatever. It seems fair to bring up the OPs other identity posts, on the topics of politics or sexuality or whatever. The post is an interesting mix of personal diary and social status signalling.
