If you don't like the OP, then simply downvote and move on. Lot's of people in this thread find it valuable and are actually willing to say as much. They are even so gracious as to outline their argument for it's utility, in detail. Maybe you should read what they have to say and engage with that.
I never downvote because I "don't like", and so should you.

Being in a majority doesn't make you more right. Ironically, this is a part of the mindset some minorities had to fight against.
> Maybe you should read what they have to say and engage with that
I did, and other people have made some replies with which I agreed. Therefore, no point for me to repeat the same things.
As ineptech wrote, "This (and a lot of other related arguments in this thread) would probably be a lot clearer with less contentious examples, like "don't push a deploy after 4pm," than with hot-button political topics. If you go to push a deploy at quitting time and someone says "We don't do that here", you wouldn't think they're on a power trip, you'd think they don't fully trust their automation tests."
I clicked on the link hoping to find something related to "Not invented there", but ended up with a new way to issue heavy threats with small words.
