What I meant by this is that changing tools is work. I do this when it helps me. Making me change part of my workflow is disruptive and I usually do this when it brings some value.

I would probably plan on leaving a company that chose their cloud stack based on the ex-CEO’s actions. That’s a signal of complete stupidity or at least unpredictable chaos. I guess some people are good with this, but that drives me crazy as someone who builds things with tech. It’s a dumb thing to choose tech based on superficial things.

Some people think this, some people don’t. Personally, I have no issues with what he said but typically don’t really care what CEOs say about affirmative action or whatever. I want to hear from people’s competence areas, not just common prerogatives. I don’t care their favorite flavor of ice cream either.
But buying or not buying their products based on what they say is not a good way to make decisions. As people will say many things over the years and I don’t want to be changing frequently.
