In open source circles, a technical description of what a tool does might be the norm, but in many other spaces, signaling your values and ideology is more important than the technicalities. For you it's buzzwords, for other people it means a very specific positioning.

A technical description?

I don't know the first thing about Bonfire. I literally only know its name, and even then, I'm not sure if it's even an it.

It might be an organisation, a single tool, a framework, a development environment, a service, I genuinely don't know.

A "mission-driven project" is a meaningless phrase that can be applied to almost anything.

For you it's buzzwords, for other people it means a very specific positioning.

Positioning what?

I don't think my computer runs ideologies.

You're making this comment in a community named after a specific software ideology.

It would still be cool if they wrote what they're actually delivering...
