This is totally awesome.

It draws a real contrast between programmers and the article's author(s). Academic style discourse never attempts to propose any solutions or valorize any sort of action whatsoever. Instead, the point is mainly to grandstand and to call out everyone. Those of higher socio-economic standing are always at fault, those of lower are always blameless/helpless/or otherwise without agency.

I agree that the project is awesome, but without those who criticize and analyze, no thought gets put into how to make the world better.

Note: there is no "fault." There are built-in injustices in society that are not due to some inherent evil lurking in the hearts of wealthy white men. By the same token, people who are poor or lack certain privileges are not stupid, bad, or inherently lesser humans because they do not possess the same knowledge and skill set as someone who has/had more advantages growing up.
