Seeing Primeagen featured on homepage is concerning - a financial database requiring absolute reliability doesn't align with someone whose brand is built on chaos and controversy.

I think that's a bit disingenuous. How is his brand built on chaos and controversy? I've watched some of his videos and he honestly seems like a really reasonable guy.

"chaos and controversy" might be a stretch but I see him solely as an 'influencer' rather than a programmer. Clickbait, reaction content; I remember the last video I watched of his was a C "code review", but based on what I watched, he doesn't know C. Lots of uninformed opinions appealing to people who don't really know what they're seeing.
