As much as I agree with the stance against I hate the coverage and the press this is getting with people evangelicizing the CEO. He's regularly referenced on this site by his initials (which even as a regular reader of tech news I had to look up) which comes across as cult of personality at best and astroturfing at worse.
- drukenemo 6y agoHe’s not the CEO though.
- Hamuko 6y ago>He's regularly referenced on this site by his initials Yeah, it's his Twitter handle. Do you think people are evangelizing rms just because he refers to himself as that and that people are following his example?
- deltron3030 6y agoHe actually is a kind of cult personality in the tech world because he wrote Ruby on Rails (which itself was kind of contrarian to most other things in that space), and it's the foundation lots of web software startups are build on. There would be no Twitter or Github without him.
