Cantrill jumps on every bandwagon. When he assisted in cancelling a Node developer (not a native English speaker) over pronouns he was following the Zeitgeist, now "Broadly speaking, LLM use is encouraged at Oxide."

He is a long way from Sun.

He wasn't fired or canceled. It is great to see Gen-Xers and Boomers having all the fun in the 1980s and 1990s and then going all prissy on younger people in the 2010s and trying to ruin their careers.

For those looking for context, this is a regrettable response of mine from nearly three decades ago, resurrected because people disagreed with the way my handling bad community behavior well over a decade ago. And for whatever it's worth, my explanation of all of this from a decade ago still stands[0].
