1/ François is getting a lot of heat for this. Yes, it can be argued that he’s belittling the hard work of others. That's a less charitable interpretation. But I doubt he had ill intent. Is it his responsibility to make sure nobody’s feelings get hurt in his venting over a tool? https://twitter.com/fchollet/status/1205941768023236608 …
