Have you posted your thoughts anywhere online you could share? I'd like to read them just to get perspective of the other side

  Don't mean to blow too much smoke but I really liked this response. I don't know if I could be that reasonable if a piece of tech I liked was attacked.

    It's reasonable. I know people care and disagree with me and that's welcome. I'll think about how to best present it gently and prepare something. The stuff I have is really much more for the STS people who think Silicon Valley should literally be dismantled brick by brick. That's a different audience than my fellow startup engineers (I've got my feet in many conflicting camps)

    As someone who has to make impactful "tech stack" decisions on a daily basis, I try to challenge my personal preferences as often as I can. When someone has a strong negative take on something I thought was great, that's a perfect opportunity to learn deeply about trade-offs or concerns I might not be fully aware of. If nothing else, it gives me an opportunity to evaluate potential issue, put guards in place to reduce the impact, and arms me to defend my choices should the need arise.
