How do you square this view with your public statement about having lost your respect for Yegge when he joined Grab? Weren't you doing the same thing as the NYT is doing here - voicing your opinion on what companies one should avoid for ethical reasons?
- pfarnsworth 8y agoNope, your analogy is deeply flawed. I'm not telling people that they have a moral obligation to do or think anything. I gave my opinion that I lost respect in Steve Yegge, because he was being a hypocrite. I didn't say "People should no longer respect Steve Yegge because he's a hypocrite". There's a profound difference between the two.

- icebraining 8y agoYou essentially said Steve Yegge had a moral obligation not to be an hypocrite, and therefore to not join Grab the way he did.
- pfarnsworth 8y agoYou have a moral obligation not to misrepresent what I write.
- icebraining 8y agoIt's my honest interpretation. I don't see how they are not equivalent. Maybe you could help me.
