It's kind of hilarious to call 2 single words at the end of a blogpost that you could have read over "pushing politics down your throat". As you said, you didn't even have an idea what it meant. For all you knew before you looked it up, he was complaining about the frigid winter weather.

I like ZSF and what it stands for.

I don’t like “American” only politics in it. Thats it. In fact I would like zero politics in it. (from anywhere in the world)

Bash the mediocrity in software that we have produced over the years. Slow. Electronbased. Etc.

I can have both the opinions.

Also I will support Andrew Kelley on Mastodon if he says the same.

Separation of Concerns.

Would you really make the same argument if those two words were “White power!” or something?

Programmers are curious by nature. So it's not 2 words; it's 2 words + wikipedia article + news articles about it, just to know what he's writing about. All uncalled for.

Be a little more curious then, friend. The author lives in Portland, which has been experiencing federal brutalization for months. Same place where the feds are repeatedly violating standards for warfare by using chemical munitions on civilians and engaging in large-scale misinformation campaigns against immigrants.

It’s almost astonishing how you found his statement “uncalled for”, while neglecting these facts.
