My counter-sicko accusation is that there's a lot of people who really love scolding & scorning people using good powerful capable competent tools, that they will be able to harness & use in other contexts, over time.

The people against doing big bold things are far more vocal, far more prevalent, far more noticeable to me. Their threads spawn and attracts all conversation to it, obliterating chances for engaged interested hopeful technologists to share interest & chat.
