I like the litmus test that only someone with a github profile with projects of their own and commits to any projects in broad use are privvy to an opinion about tech culture.<p>When I see an SJC opinion on identity politics and tech, my first instinct is to check github to see if the author has ever contributed to open source or has any sizable projects of their own published. I&#x27;d guess that 99 times out of 100 they don&#x27;t.<p>There are a lot of loudmouthed people with lots of opinions and no street cred.<p>Pretty much every scandal over the past few years have involved someone with little to no content in their github profile. I encourage anyone with a particular scandal in mind to go find the github profile of the person at the center of the scandal and see if they&#x27;ve accomplished much if anything as software engineer.
