On Resigning from Google

When you say SJW-ish in this context, do you mean you disagree with their assessment (i.e. helping oil companies do their job cheaper is bad, improving the technology underpinning combat drones is bad when the country that uses them demonstrates irresponsible use of them, supporting with labor a company that fires labor organizers is bad)?

I mean that they (the author) appears to hold politically and social positions, which trend towards a common cultural subgroup, colloquially known as SJW's, or "progressives". I'm not ascribing approval or disapproval to that group, and I'm not trying to drag any positive or negative connotations from the title.

I'm just pointing out that its rare to read an article where someone complains about the company they work for, and then stops working there. It was a refreshing change of pace.

I think this comment feels like trying blatantly to pin OP into a bad position, honestly this is quite disingenuous.

The op put themselves there, when you call something "SJWish" without actually talking about the positions, then you're being disingenuous yourself.
