I've seen Jon espouse opinions about technology that cut against the popular grain, but I've never seen him pull a full-Torvalds and try to belittle the people who argue against him. Jonathan Blow sticks to the tech and rational conversation about it.

He has a lot of terrible things to say about JavaScript and Electron in particular. And I agree with every point he makes. It's also not going to stop me from using them, because I have other reasons, other goals. If you can pay attention and avoid blindly interpreting criticism of the tech as a personal attack, it will make you a better developer.

I've seen him single out (and with rather insulting wording) people who disagreed with him politically or even on trivial topics, among other questionable, or at least insensitive, behavior towards individuals.
