If only this was only about FB interviews. This is global. Even for whatever tech thing. Today it's trendy to trash, say, Firefox. Or to use XX library. Or to talk about feat. XX in SSH (the one that's been there for 10 years in the man page and isn't new, sensational or obscure at all, y'a know?). It makes juicy headlines. And you know what? People fall for it. Smart engineers? Many, most? they fall for it too. My take is that it's collateral damage from the Internet. The way people become information addict and can get so much of it. They like the juicy titles. They don't like to think. They enjoy the easiness of just following what remotely make sense (even if it actually makes no sense to the critical reader!). They, you say? The "they" I'm using here is different from the burger story. By "they" I actually mean nearly everyone, me included. It's something difficult to fight against.
