It's not easy to take all the hate and ill-will day in day out. It's not even easy to ignore it, much less to deal with it.
I respect Guido's decision even though I was quite sad to see him step down. It's not difficult to see that, with Pythons growing popularity, things would probably have become even worse for him in the future.
- nabla9 7y agoSocial media gives unfair advantage to a horde of ankle biters, influences and opinionated individuals to affect things that matter. Even completely harmful promotion can snowball into supporting harmful behaviour. CTO or senior developer in a small company may feel the need to promote stuff they do by writing technical articles and commenting ongoing debates in the social media. Attaching comments to anything that is trending is important if you want to promote stuff. Suddenly the person is committed with his own name to something he did not thing trough and unintentionally adding side support to some hate campaign.
