He referenced a talk about programming made by a conservative guy called uncle bob, in a blog post and doubled down that he doesn't care

The talk used to be referenced often but now less for both some of the technical principles falling out of fashion, and the author just pushing bad take after bad take thinking he's 10 steps ahead while staying 20 steps behind because he can't tell the difference. And also the conservative stuff

Oh man, who the hell ties their cart to Uncle Bob? That man stands as a true classic of the Graham Lineman “I have some issues with the trans movement” -> actually hanging out with Alex Jones/disowned by friends and family pipeline.

The devs are from Eastern Europe. It's not exactly surprising that they would be a few years behind the times socially.

Where "behind the times socially" means "not falling for the Americans alwayslooking for something to be upset about".

Huh, I always thought the Czech Republic, where their studio sits, was more accepting of non-cis folks. Turns out they’re still not even past debating gay marriage.
