RE: the rise of developer celebrity has made software:
I'm struggling to articulate this point so bear with me... I think it's good in the sense that it leads people to think about the underlying philosophy of a product, rather than jumping onto a tool bandwagon and then getting mad it's not all things to all people. Like if I know something about Zach Leatherman and how he thinks about software, I know better whether Eleventy would be a good fit for me and my use case.
