> so I will give it exactly 0 seconds of thought when commenting on it.
You opened your post literally giving your thought about his political stance. Had you completely skipped this part, we'd be only discussing React and not Vercel's CEO stance.
Edit: Your quote can literally be understood as "His take doesn't bother me". If you didn't want to discuss this, you could (like someone else said) have worded it better to avoid confusion.
>Vercel's CEO political stance has zero impact on React's health
Sure it does! ReiserFS's popularity went way down after he murdered his wife.
And that's only from murdering one women and no children or men, so Reiser count of one kill (and holding steady) can't hold a candle to Netanyahu's mass murder kill count, which is rising fast by the day.
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).
>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?
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.
> 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?
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.

Cmon. You can't possibly believe actions don't have consequences, do you?
Commenters here are experts in react and have interests in technology, or are looking to understand more about these topics. No one reading here is an expert on geopolitical issues. You're just connecting on the wrong post, and probably the wrong website, if you want to talk about these things. There are places for that, but it's not here this comment section and if you keep trying to make it that you're just going to get down voted over and over.
But who has become the defacto steward of React over the last 5 years? Vercel.
Whose CEO has made a lot of news recently for their political views? Guillermo
What front-end framework library now needs to distance itself from Vercel as it's main steward? React.
IT'S ALL POLITICS. That's the entire point of the foundation. That's what this whole discussion is about.

I don't know, I see a lot of posts and threads here of people discussing geo-political issues. Not just for the sake of it of course, but because politics is everywhere and affects everything, because technology is always going to have some form of politics attached, and because everyone is a political actor in their lives.
Separating fully any technology news and political happenstance is impossible. Now of course it doesn't mean every topic should devolve into identity politics, but having discussion about how and why things are they way they are is inherently political.
