Share a tech take you actually hold but rarely say out loud because the crowd would turn on you. Keep it good-natured - the goal is interesting discussion, not a fight.

I'll kick it off with a few of mine:
  • Most projects would be better with less abstraction, not more. Frameworks don't reduce complexity, they relocate it somewhere less visible.
  • The terminal is not inherently superior to a GUI for most tasks. We just fetishise it because it looks impressive.
  • "Move fast and break things" is a fine philosophy for a side project and a genuinely bad one for anything people depend on.

What have you got?
