He says he's trying to do better, but I'll believe it when I see it. Even his recent posts are full of mean sarcasm that probably rubs a lot of people the wrong way. This is from 2 weeks ago:
> Congratulations to Rust for its first (but not its last) supply-chain attack this week! They join a growing club of broken-by-design package managers which publish packages uploaded by vendors directly, with no review step, and ship those packages directly to users with no further scrutiny. [1]
And in the post where he's complaining about GoModuleProxy, he manages to self-righteously insult the entire Go team for no good reason:
> I will say that if I was in their position, and my service was mistakenly sending an excessive amount of traffic to someone else, I would make it my first priority to fix it. But I suppose no one will get promoted for prioritizing that at Google. [2]

- skyfaller 4y agoYeah, that's fair. I frequently agree with what he's saying, but he tends to say it in an abrasive way that won't make him friends or convince anyone who doesn't already agree with him. And maybe that's part of why there are all of these comments where people are like "I don't understand why people would hate Drew!" I think people tend to forget how obnoxious such comments are if they agree with the content, and that's part of how Drew became a divisive figure with so many fans and haters.
