You can be mostly correct about things and still be worthy of criticism (we all are, really). You're taking some mild criticism from Zed way out of context and making it out to be an act of villainy.

That's way too much drama for what's going on here. I know and don't particularly enjoy Zed very much, but honestly he's pretty neutral. He's done a lot of good in his community and has had some nuclear hot takes that have received outsized attention. If you really feel he's as toxic as you say, you shouldn't be giving him more of it.

I don't care about his opinions or takes, I care about the harm he inflicts by reinforcing the beliefs that undermine junior developers' confidence.
