emphasize community over tech
...speechless.
client: Why is there only clear text and flashing ads on my screen?
developer: Oh, yes - we implemented the new ayo libraries!
client: This looks like shit. Give me my site back!
developer: but, you don't understand! The new libraries are great, they emphasize community over tech!
client: [......]
client: [calls her P.A.] Richard, go find me a new tech team.

Tech is nothing without people behind it. I don't think it's stupid to take a few moments to think about whether driving away some members of the contributing community away is worth it for what was said.

Problematic people removed; use of "policy" as an excuse ended; power structures reorganized to emphasize community over tech. So far though it seems like there's little desire to fix these problems from those with the power to do so.
