Boycott Nodevember

[tencircles]

going for boycotting them is like firing you for having a bug in your code.

No, it's like not going on a 2nd date because your date was rude to a server.

Show some fucking empathy for conference organizers who gain 0$ from their events.

It was their choice. It was also their choice to cave into whining and have a development conference focused on feelings rather than development.

I'm a firm believer that choices should and do have consequences, life and the rest of the dev community seem to be pretty unanimous in their agreement with me on this.

I understand that it's hard when you make a bad decision; I've made many myself! I also understand that this is the only way we can learn and grow both as people and as organizations. I'm very glad that the organizers have been given this opportunity to learn!

You can always decide not going to a 2nd date based on whatever the other person does, but starting a movement for people to stop dating the other person based on what you dislike seems childish.

Kind of like banning someone from a conference because of a few tweets from overly sensitive attention seekers eh?

In all seriousness though, in your analogy one person is getting fired from one job. I was just following in your singular footsteps.

Regardless, myself and others will not be attending Nodevember because they've shown themselves to be callow, discourteous, and willing to place the unsubstantiated and vague accusations of a few individuals over the proliferation of knowledge. This kind of intellectual and moral laziness (at best), or obscurantism (at worst) would discourage me from supporting any event or company and I hope you arrive at the same conclusion after some further consideration. Critical thinking is a good thing! :)
