While vegetarians won't eat things that caused harm to produce

This is nonsense, since there is a lot of animal harm involved in the production of eggs and milk.

And I don't see the contradiction you are seeing. Your piracy argument is pro music/movie industry and the vegan argument is against the meat industry. Doesn't make much sense to equate those arguments.

I was using Mozilla in order to not use Internet Explorer and at some point I switched to their new browser when it was still called Firebird.

Nowadays I stick to it just so Google doesn't get a browser monopoly.

It's a random list for sure, but vendor lock-in can also be a problem for companies hosting their stuff in the cloud in a similar manner to what's happening with unity.

But on a more serious note, I don’t really agree. Writing more code needs to be a conscious choice, but going for the shortest code too often creates a mess. I know, since I was that junior dev who just wanted to get stuff done and I would ignore project architecture in order to have to implement less, like accessing the database in GUI code.

Shorter code with the same amount of coupling between components and with the same readability is always better though.

Not sure if these are hot takes:

• Difficult to test == poorly designed
• Code review is overrated and often poorly executed, most things should be checked automatically (review should still be done though)
• Which programming language doesn't matter (within reason), while amount of programming languages matters a lot
