I don't think the bar should be higher for bad deeds! I prefer a lower bar. I see a lot of stuff happen in the world that I really don't want to happen (on topic: privacy invasions for profit), and it's not publicly called ba

Alright. I just don't agree with you then. "A good person is obligated to quit a bad company" is a bullshit statement, unless the bar for "bad company" is a lot higher than I see it. I already asserted at the very

It would be interesting if Geomys promoted some form of cross-pollination among its associate maintainers, but it sounds like they're trying not to direct the work.

Did I misread something? I don't think Geomys is in the business of deciding what is or isn't critical.

If the answer is yes, does that mean a junior web dev who implements user tracking on a shopping portal is equivalent to Hitler? Or is every who does less evil than Hitler "not a bad person"? I don't think it's useful

I don't think I follow your concerns. For styling, there has never been a requirement (or even, really, an incentive) to style your elements directly in JSX. It's possible to do so but you're just passing through inline style

This is pretty exciting to see. I'm not an OSS maintainer myself, mostly due to lack of focus/energy, but the prospect of working with a company such as Geomys is inspiring. And I've been wanting to learn Go anyway...

Huh, your comment made me reconsider. Variable names are very important to code quality, so how would those be preserved if not using text? I suppose they could be programmatically generated to be "good" but I foresee illegible
