Yeah, the HN post title is sensationalist. I'm not "full blockchain/Web3", but (having not looked at it too closely) Tea seems like a nice idea on paper. Homebrew doesn't seem to have changed or stopped working.
The linked page title doesn't come across as derogatory to me, unless I am being naive. It appears the opposite actually, that the writer of the blog is supporting the interest in blockchain/ web3? I didn't (and don't plan to) listen to the 32min audio so maybe I am wrong. I agree Tea sounds like an awesome idea. I look forward to seeing if it takes off.
Let him try new things!
