Interesting article, but not a fan of the intro paragraph. Why can't we just have technical articles without focusing on politics so much?

  Hate being 'that person', but technology doesn't exist in a vacuum, and it's unreasonable to expect technologists to be completely apolitical.

    There's a difference between "technology isn't in a vacuum" and "some people can't even write articles about handshakes without mentioning Trump". That's not asking for people to be apolitical, it's being surprised that Trump appears to be living rent free in this person's head.

    Of course, if politics is actually relevant to the topic, it is fine to talk about the politics involved. But taking something like handshakes and using that as an opportunity to talk about trump and/or inject your politics into an article is excessive.
