If I let everyone on my street borrow my bike, can I say "I've democratized my bike"?
i would say, only if they all get to vote on how/when its used and by whom

I love democracy, but somehow there is something cloying about the use of "democratize" in this context.
For some strange reason, everyone in the ML community refers to 'increasing adoption' as 'democratizing'. It's my pet peeve.

Why are people nitpicking about this? So the term/phrase he came up with was so descriptive that other people had also thought of the same term previously. He didn't steal anyones research on the topic, or steal code for the project, or deny credit to a developer working on a project. It's 2 simple words that are extremely common in the english language. Of course lots of people have happened to put them together bef…
People that “coin terms” that don’t spend the two seconds required to Google it and then spread around statements like “I coined it” are self-aggrandizing. It’s worth calling them out and discouraging this behavior because it leads to missing entire fields of previous work for both the author and people who build on the work.
And if the arguement is that this is a gateway action that leads to other bad things, that's not an arguement I put any stock in. It's used a lot in many places and many discussions, but just focus calling out the bad. It isn't his responsibility to ensure that some person building off his work at some point in the future does the appropriate level of research appropriate for their project. Assuming that an action is bad because you think someday down the road it might lead someone else to do something and that that something will be a bad thing is just ridiculous.

If you knew him at all or had bothered to spend the time to look at his work and projects in any level of depth, you would know he is not a self-aggrandizing person.

Whether they choose to update the materials and reference existing work is up to them.

But he is, he just claimed he coined “exploratory programming” FFS. It takes a shocking lack of hubris to announce that you are on the cutting edge of a field where you get to coin terms without doing the trivial amount of searching to verify it first.
Sorry, using NSA/Microsoft Github is not a "best practice". This project should be dead in the water if that's their starting point.
Willing to be more specific with a comment like this?
So I use this in production at my company. It's an awesome tool. Personally when I'm coding in python I like to prototype in jupyter, copy code over, and then reimport anyway. Nbdev streamlines everything so I can write docs, tests, and code all in one place. And since the docs are just a jekyll site I can copy it to our documentation aws bucket in continuous integration. And with one command I can run all the notebo…
Really interesting! Do you mind sharing what your company is? (I am the author of the blog post)
