  lol. The moment Guillermo posted that picture, the internet was awash with blogs and pieces about how to move away from Vercel (who everyone now sees as the stewards of React). This is actually kinda hilarious to have to respond to and explain to. Just because you don't have principles, doesn't mean other people don't. Cmon. You can't possibly believe actions don't have consequences, do you?

  > I don't care because I'm just analyzing Vercel's stewardship of React, and Vercel's CEO political stance has zero impact on React's health. Just so that I'm following: You're saying that how the CEO is viewed does not in fact impact the company they are heading? And that the wave of people migrating from Vercel in light of Guillermo's post will not have any effect on React?

      wait so now you're admitting it has an impact?

        Obvious troll is obvious. I shouldn't have taken the bait but for a second I wanted to assume good intentions. You are obviously not asking in good faith and just want an excuse to act self-righteous. So I'll let you do that. Alone. Bye.

Why? Werner von Braun shouldn’t have been employed by the US, I think you’d agree. But also, his Nazi background didn’t preclude him from being a useful rocket scientist. Why does someone’s political ideas have any bearing on the merits of that person’s OSS technology (the thing this article is about).

    You haven't explained how it impacts the health of React. As an aside, please give the site guidelines a read.

        That's not in the comment I replied to, but your quotes are a good example of why I'm asking you to give the guidelines a read through. This is an inappropriate way to express your disagreements.

        Are you really saying you couldn't connect Guillermo's actions with the health of the product he's overseeing?
