People in general are far too immature to discuss politics. They are happy to spew opinions an complain about the ignorance of 'the other side' but they don't actually want to listen to other perspectives. Look at this thread

That's fine. The point is that adding an airline co2 tax should be met with co2 taxes on all petrol. The last thing you want to incentivize is a 737 worth of people all driving their own cars from LA to SF for the weekend instead of ta

Right, protecting an investment in R&D is a protection racket. There has to be some reasonable line between incentivizing investment and "everyone had a right to everyone else's ideas".

UI look really only matters in competitive consumer markets. In B2B spaces where there are limited competitors and vastly different levels of investment involved for the users, the UI largely becomes irrelevant as long as it works.

Framing a recruiter asking for a github link as a question of contributing to the tech world is disingenuous. Stack overflow, Google, Apple, etc have contributed significantly more to the tech world than 99% of open source projects. Ruling
