I’ve seen a lot of people pile on Uncle Bob for this and for good reason- it’s at best a laughably naive view that tends to go hand in hand with the reckless “we’re a meritocracy!” mindset. But it’s not just him- this is a very commonly expressed belief.https://twitter.com/unclebobmartin/status/1200074140637642754 …

I'm sure there's no chilling effect in this respectful exchange of ideas.

Yeah that's really something that concerns me when I see stuff like this. Understandably, people like Bob seem to be viewed as the ones that have privilege and then should therefore be knocked down a peg. But the I don't think the resulting derision and posturing is helping.

It comes across as a mob swarming in and it just doesn't look good from the perspective of anybody not quite on the same page (even if they're sympathetic).
