This is when you get a UC Berkeley Graduate from the Wokest Left Liberal part of America to help maintain Bitcoin Core.
I don't care how technically good you are. The WOKE politics just don't align.
Bitcoin takes what it can get. There is no CEO looking for the right talent.
That said, Core used to present itself as the leader by showing how neutral they were. Code mergers had no place in having an opinion on the code, only on technical things like "is this objectively malicious", but code reviewers that ACK and NACK should catch those.
Anyone could contribute.
Now it feels like an organisation with a mission statement. People are aligned and use their values to push changes instead of focusing on maintenance and letting the community push the direction of the code.
It feels like there is now organisation, where before it was just a mess of random people, random ideas. So now there is probably a roadmap which should probably be shared to ensure that everything is transparent.
