I still follow Dimitry on twitter for his technical talent, as I've done some palmOS software reversing as well, but man every other post is something along the lines of "we should let X group fend for themselves in a rattlesnake pit because they don't produce value". All to say it's a major bummer his cool work is tainted by his dehumanizing words and I wonder if he understands how he comes off to people.

Any part you are referring to? I can't find any personal attack. I actually like his writing style. I think he just speaks his mind in full honesty and you should not interpret it as aggressivity.

I had a stroll though his Twitter. It's just a grab bag of strawmen being summarily beaten mostly by the fact that no one is replying to challenge him.

Took two minutes of reading his Twitter to find him comparing black people to chimpanzees.

What's his x handle? It doesn't seem linked from his blog

He tried to start a shit-flinging contest with me in an HN comment thread once. Accused Zephyr RTOS of being "bloat" or something.

As a fellow embedded dev, I smile every time one of his projects shows up on HN. He's really talented. But c'mon, dude.

It's dehumanizing to reduce people to productivity.

I’m not actively following the saga, but that seems like a gross mischaracterisation in all directions. I haven’t seen anyone seriously call her a Nazi¹ and her comments aren’t harmless either. ¹ Though I wouldn’t be surprised if it has happened. But then again that’s not saying much on the internet. Doing a cursory search, I found a post² on her own website where she complains someone said she has “uphold [Nazi] ide…

Substituting a pronoun with its antecedent in brackets is normal when quoting in English.

The original quote:

“The Nazis burnt books on trans healthcare and research, why are you so desperate to uphold their ideology around gender?”
