This will be a success only to the extent that it fosters a diversification of voices. If all it does is to create more ideological group-think news bubbles, then it's just more of the same for a culture obsessed with self-selecting their news, and hearing only the viewpoints that they already agree with.

This is a cautionary tale. It's unwise to burn bridges after a conflict, because you never know what the future may hold. Justified or not, leaving a stink bomb in your wake is a bad resume builder. It makes people more wary, not more confident.

The pain from interpersonal conflicts is real and powerful. But how we handle ourselves during conflict says more about us than any amount of code we'll ever write.

I'm just thankful that China doesn't make computer hardware.

Nah. Because JavaScript.
