Are you? Or is it just that they are capable of working with people who have different political views to them? DHH is clearly right wing but I don't think it's abhorrent to work with right wing people full stop.
And yeah I've read the supposedly awful things he's written. I don't agree with them but they aren't that bad. I am centre-left for what it's worth (in the UK, which is probably just left in the US). But I also have the ability to understand other people's viewpoints.

Of course I don't mean getting murdered, but advocating conversion therapy gets pretty close. https://world.hey.com/dhh/bad-therapy-08849dc9 https://world.hey.com/dhh/bad-therapy-08849dc9 I wouldn't be around if this was policy where I live (Let's put aside that the UK is in fact pretty fucked on that)
- IshKebab 11mo agoSee at this point you're boycotting a company for supporting a developer who wrote a favourable book review of someone that has unproven and controversial but absolutely not fringe views about transgender issues that you disagree with. > I wouldn't be around if this was policy where I live If what was policy? Higher thresholds for mental health diagnoses? Cancel culture isn't a good thing, left or right.

- seethedeaduu 11mo ago"favourable book review of someone that has unproven and controversial but absolutely not fringe views" imagine saying this in 1930 and suddenly it doesn't sound as innocent. Leave trans people alone.
