there's a lot of sides and complexities to this, but here's what I think:
- sharing articles criticizing tailwind is good and fine, people do that all the time
- this article in particular was the wrong article to share. it's bashing based off of a factually incorrect premise, plain and simple
- sara shouldn't have shared that article as if it were valid or worth anyone's time
- adam's responses that sara was "spreading negativity" weren't entirely in the wrong
- I kind of feel for adam; it's rough and awkward having gone from "guy with a weird fringe idea" to "owner of framework and business that's quickly eating half of the frontend ecosystem". he doesn't have the right mindset or experience to handle all of the sudden attention, especially since TW goes hard against things people've been taught for several years
on the flipside:
- none of that excuses the harassment sara's receiving, that's just gross
- regardless of the inflamatory nature of the article, she has the right to do what she wants with her platform. those who disagree are free to unfollow/block
- if adam happens to be more sensitive to criticism than others, that's something he needs to work on, especially in the position he's in
- tailwind's users do have a complex where they are less receptive to criticism, quicker to claim that critics just "need to try it first", don't know what their talking about, or that their opinions are just invalid for whatever reason. but I also don't think this is adam's fault
