What's prop 8 campaign? Why does it matter whether the donation was done before or after Brave was started? Why does it matter that support for LGBT was lower when he made the donation?

You're attempting to make it seem like it's fine because of all these arbitrary rules you've place and by hiding what he donated to (most people won't look up what prop 8 is, and you know it), but why not hold people accountable no matter when or how big the issue is?

You can also hold them accountable on all the issues, not just the issues you care about. Just because you care about issue x, doesn't mean someone else caring about issue y is invalid.

    It's probably fine for them. My guess is that they went this way because it wasn't profitable enough anymore, so they started the enshittification process. Windows has become a smaller slice of the pie so these things won't matter much. They're probably mostly focused on AI and Azure.

    Depends on which parts you look at. There is plenty that he wrote about that have made coding enjoyable, but yes, also plenty that is the opposite.

    I never saw his book as a bible though. I always thought of it as a "here are possibly good ideas, see which you and your team likes".
