What? Appeals to standards are appeals to authority.

  Are you sure you can’t see the nuanced difference in this case?

    There can be differences between appeals to authority, and there's also a difference between an appeal to standards and an appeal to (the common, shared hacker value of) standardization. But no such differences are captured by calling one appeal to authority 'an appeal to authority' in contradistinction to another.

      Personally, I find quite a big difference between the standard of the already widespread usage of K8S versus the cult of personality around DHH who is abrasively opinionated at times.
