The author is just trying to shoehorn his political ideology into a completely irrelevant topic to score social points with his friends and pat himself on the back. There is no need trying to find anything of substance here. He is hearing hoofs, and imagining zebras instead of horses.

Thank you for this. For a long time I've had a case of Emperor's New Clothes when it comes to these two people and others in their clique.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees this.

Yes, or even regarded at all. Frost and Pickering have both written garbage here, and it's totally amazing that we all find it so noteworthy.

100% agree with that, and I'm getting downvoted to boot!

The "generalist" has always been there, what capitalistic exploitation has to do with it, I don't know.
> We need to address the undervaluing of HTML and CSS for what it is: gender bias.
Pickering & Frost: Did it seem like a good idea maybe hopping on the bandwagon of the populist rhetoric in the media? Next thing we hear about might be that Python is not trans-gender friendly enough...
