Trying to make it about capitalism is also silly. Those rant and rave about that have no alternative to offer. At best they suggest Scandavian style welfare capitalism, which has capitalism right there in the name, but call it socialism because it sounds cooler.

They should grow up too.

Hot take but I think everyone is allowed to recognize the cutthroat, impersonal nature of corporate hiring and firing and commiserate about it without needing to walk around with a fully-formed proposal for an alternative economic system in their pocket.

I may try out gp's approach with the next adverse code review I get: "While my naming is generic and the code difficult to understand - it is the best solution to date. Stop whining and provide your alternative diff before I can take your criticism seriously"

Really not an alternative diff but a pathway to transition to an alternative codebase built on an alternative development methodology with strong guarantees that said methodology could not yield code that presents problems resembling the ones in your PR.
