    All software is political. What a terrible opinion. If you are security minded, don’t rely on any software you don’t control the source of and haven’t fully vetted. Otherwise whoever developes that code has a back door into your system regardless of what opinions they post on Twitter.

    Moreover, people have rights to the code they write. If I decide that my numeric library shouldn’t be used in missile guidance systems I have a right to demand that. I’ll be ignored, and so I think a person then should be expected to escalate.

    Life is political, and there’s no standing neutrally still on a planet rapidly spinning towards revolutionary restructuring.
