>Do you act on ideas or shiny packaging? The outward appearance and concept of something can indicate bias or quality where there may not be any. See hype around Yeezye shoes, or Kayne's white shirt, or the utilization of netlify essentially repackaging Amazon. An idea is meaningless without the ability to act. People ripped this comment to shreds, meanwhile the brain-swell of folks here would absolutely criticism if something was posted that showed lack of due diligence and due care. Watching the videos of this content, the videos are just scripted versions of the text in the markdown files, with no slides or auxiliary content to show value. Impressive really. Further, I don't think anyone took my comment holistically as it sits. I fondly remember seeing a lot of developer advocates talking about Azure and how wonderful the Cloud is, but they showed a demo, their own personal PC was poorly configured and managed, and they were using incorrect taxonomy for quite a few things -- leading people down the wrong path of growth and learning. So yeah, the details that are on the shiny package matter, for sure.
