Yes, that is his argument. I reread the post when you contested the first time, and I reread it again now, and it is unambiguously his argument.
> Drew, as far as I know, isn't speaking from some deep well of experience or knowledge
He worked for SpaceX, which is a multi-billion dollar company.
- mustache_kimono 4y ago> ... it is unambiguously his argument. Oh yeah? Guess I'm too thick to get it then. FWIW, I don't see him ever mention reproducible binaries, and I don't see that post as being especially in favor of users compiling from source. > He worked for SpaceX, which is a multi-billion dollar company. I'm not sure what point you're trying to make? And I'm afraid you may be missing mine. He doesn't talk about his SpaceX experience in the post, and that fact only goes to underline my point. What he's talking about is not his experience, at least as far as we can discern, rather it's about the vibey-ness of the thing (Drew: "We all know Megacorps are evil..."). (And, wow, the fact he worked for SpaceX is hilarious given his views on FOSS. Tesla/SpaceX are terrible re: FOSS. Much, much worse than any FAANG.)
