I’d rather they do. Focus that energy into productive action rather than just signaling.

It’s like those people who do 50 commits instead of one to look busy. Just put that mental energy into real stuff.

Wow, why is that the only alternative?

Rather they signal nothing, to be honest. I mean it is their perogative but makes one think twice about the future of the software. So it's another data point. Not all or nothing. I hate all or nothing types from all sides. 99% of things are on a spectrum and I think that life should be the same. Sure some things are 0 or 1 but they are relatively rare.
