@FinalGirl @danirabbit To be explicit about this — my response wasn’t meant to be an attack on Danielle’s professional credentials but an approach I devoted a lot of time to but concluded it was a dead road. I apologise if I wasn’t clear and my toot allowed it to be interpreted that way.

@FinalGirl @danirabbit That wasn't the intent. I was aiming at "this idea I helped to bring forward and maintained for over two decades does more harm than good."

@danirabbit developers will always go for the first thing that sometimes fits the job and will be mad when the metaphor changes. maintaining such semantic schemes for over two decades i can tell you this is all a lie. semantic themes do not work.
