I think the line is still a bit fuzzy in the case of a small single-proprietor (at least as far as I know, maybe he hired some more folks, I haven’t been keeping track) company like SourceHut. I mean, it is a company that has become well known around here because the owner made a lot of practical, nuts-and-bolts decisions aligned to his ideology (like the decision to price things from the start to make a reasonable little profit, an explicit rejection of the hypergrowth ideology). > Practical reasons can generalise to everyone but not ideological reason. I wouldn’t move to Saudi for example because I’m not a Muslim. But if I were to understand that he moved due to practical reasons that matter for his core business then that is generalisable. I think I sort of disagree that practical reasons are universally generalizable in a way that ideological reasons aren’t. Practical reasons are generalizable in some cases, but your ability to learn practical lessons from somebody else will depend on how your situations are practically similar. Ideological reasons are also generalizable in some sense—I mean, lots of people have similar ideological beliefs. And SourceHut was founded on ideological principles that are not universally held, but which are widespread enough for folks here to at least be curious about them here.
