@mariusor Speaking as someone who knows her personally, it's hard to judge when I know how much of it came down to survival rather than principle. And the fact that she kept working on standards that benefit both ecosystems through all of that reads more like holding on than selling out, to me.

@hongminhee framing the discrepancy between volunteer driven vs capitalist interests driven projects in favour of the capitalists speaks very clearly to me.

In the current market where capitalist efforts have become in large part LLM driven, it's out right disrespectful to imply that moving fast is somehow better than doing things right.

(Granted that volunteer development doesn't guarantee it either, but in my opinion has a more authentic chance)
