This hasn’t changed.
I'm turned off from daisyUI with marketing like this. The alternative to daisyUI certainly isn't this.
I use Tailwind in a similar way that daisyUI does: by putting my utility classes in components and reusing the components.
daisyUI's value prop is that not everyone wants to do this for their custom design system. They should just stick to that instead of making false claims.
With all due respect, this perspective baffles me. Some see it your way, others see so much opportunity.
Wait, what?

Confusing contradictions aside, I had trouble engaging with this article.
The author seems to think every developer thinks like they do. Some people actually enjoy helping their business/users.
The author also has trouble imagining other perspectives as a people manager. From the linked article,
> I do not get any sort of high from managing people. I don’t think anyone gets that same high from this role
Hate to break it to the author again, but some people actually enjoy seeing those they mentor/manage succeed.
Being a people manager isn’t the right fit for everyone. Perhaps being a developer in the next 20, 5, or 1 year won’t be the right fit for the same people it is for today.
There’s of course a third option: the solution justifies the complexity. Some problems are hard to solve, and the solutions require new intuition.
It’s easy to say that, but it’s also easy to say it should be easier to understand.
I’m waiting to see how this plays out.

Unsure which group you’re in after making this generalization
What companies have you built (or played a role in building) using this "playbook" that fit your description?
Saying “no” multiple times as if a statement is so absurdly wrong is such a meme at this point and another interesting difference between face to face and online interactions. I can’t imagine having a discussion with friends and someone throwing a bunch of “no”s out.
This is so disingenuous. They failed because they made risky investments, interest rate hikes put their investments in jeopardy, and when they tried to raise extra capital (responsible thing to do), people were alerted of the problem and left the bank (responsible thing to do).
