Taylor (creator of Laravel) wrote a good explanation of why it bothered Adam.
It's not that it was critique, it's not that it was coming from a minority or whatever, it's that it was sharing an article full of dumb misinformation.
It took Adam years to make people understand the value of Tailwind. There's a lot of very repetitive critiques that are easily disprovable, but really get to you when you have to fight the same points over and over again after pouring years of your life into a project.
That's what the critique was about. Not that it criticized Tailwind, but that it broadcasted a very harmful (as far as Adam's work of improving Tailwind adoption goes) article to thousands of people.
Why is this comment marked as “low quality/non-constructive”? Samuel simply provided an explanation for Adam’s reaction from one of Adam’s closest friends.
Currently building a suite of tools on AWS serverless universe for hiring support of SMBs and startups. I self-identify as a Jedi and push to master branch.
Adam's reaction and expectations are intrinsically intertwined with the systems we are living in.
Some of what you've said here certainly has merit, though calling it a "dumb article" is no more valuable than the article expressing that TailwindCSS "does nothing" or Adam claiming that Best CSS practices are useless.
Had Adam expressed that he felt the article was harmful and full of misinformation and her sharing it was unduly harmful to his brand, and allowed her the autonomy to decide if she stood by what she wrote (which was more than just a link, but rather disclaiming she agreed with some of its points), we wouldn't even be having this conversation.
I personally don't find value in what Taylor wrote because it glosses past Adam's action, and speaks instead to his intention, completely ignoring the impact. This is gaslighting and frankly dismissive of the damage he did to Sara in writing the comment he did.
If you are telling me that you believe he has the right to publicly shame Sara, instead of being pragmatic about his public response with his own enormous platform, then you have got a lot of internalizing to do on racism and sexism, because that is exactly what this is.

Let's all promise and agree to behave with empathy and respect towards others, and stop with politics in domains (such as tech or other professions) where it has no place. Accusing people of bad intentions without backing it up with evidence isn't going anywhere.

That's funny because Taylor is the king of getting emotional and confrontational about opinions of his work. Just look this up over the years...
Go Adam go...regardless of what others try to label you with...
