I'll call out for beginners at chess, there is no need to learn openings in order to improve at low level. Focus on just playing games and tactics (chesscom paid or lichess free). These things will get you to a level where you can start to parse the difference between openings.

Wow, this is a torrent of IPOs today. Investors / boards are wanting to get money out before things turn south I feel.

People have been saying this for months now. Is there evidence that there are disproportionally more IPOs recently?

People who have done exercise would disagree, there are benefits from investing in exercise. I don't particularly like using a stair machine but I enjoy how I feel from using it and enjoy the benefits of being more fit.

If people continuously misinterpret this, and it is being used as a marketing statement, do you not think there is an issue with how it is being represented? If people outside the movement continuously make the same error in interpretation seems like you need either better education or messaging to not hurt the movement.

I think the op was asking because you had their interest and they wanted to know directions they could go in.

Your post seems to assume people know of the different directions they could study

Question: How do I get involved in contributing to these types of projects, I wish there were mentorship programs focused on helping software professionals get involved in open source/libre contributions. Any thoughts?

I personally think it's good to call out arguments that we disagree with, that are imprecise, or irrelevant.

Not as pressing in this case but elsewhere if you leave those arguments uncriticized it gives those you are arguing against more leverage in the form of things they can point out.

It's important we hold people to high standards
