1. This article is like a drinking game. As in, take a drink every time he says "inclusive" or "inclusiveness." He used those terms to the point of ridiculousness.

2. I think it's very telling that he refused to answer any questions that would reveal what his current stance on gay marriage is. I also think it's very safe to assume he's still against it.

Yes, really. He has some good points about privilege and helping less-privileged people in the open source community... but that's something that's being talked a lot about right now. If you don't have the privilege of being able to throw dozens upon dozens of hours into unpaid projects, you're not going to get anywhere in open source, these days. That is important and worthy of being talked about, but I really raise an eyebrow at this man being the one to talk about it, if that makes sense.

And yes, I noticed how he flat-out refused to say anything one way or another regarding marriage equality, which to me also means, he is still against it.

Welp, this is a bit dated now. but it's an interesting read nonetheless.
