From the "critique"[0]:

> Upon learning of your resignation, following reports that you were linked to an account advocating to “normalize Indian hatred” and for a “eugenic immigration policy,” I can’t help but address the staggering hypocrisy of these views within the context of the IT industry.

> This field, including your own career, is built on the labor, innovation, and expertise of Indian engineers and developers. To hold such hateful beliefs about a group that forms the backbone of this industry isn’t just reprehensible—it’s a complete contradiction of the reality you benefit from every day.

> My original critique of your code addressed technical issues and provided solutions, but after learning about your expressed views, it’s clear that poor coding isn’t the root problem here. Your mindset is incompatible with the fundamental values of IT: collaboration, respect, and global interconnectedness.

> Someone who advocates for hate cannot build systems meant to serve diverse users, nor can they lead or contribute meaningfully to teams that rely on trust and mutual respect. I strongly suggest you reflect on the harm your beliefs cause—not just to others, but to your credibility and future in this profession.

It doesn't invalidate the same author's critique above it at all (the critique itself manages to do that) but how it ended up mentioned in Krebs' article is puzzling. It harkens back to the days when journalists would quote-mine random Twitter users' tweets as if it meant something. "Twitter user @john89674651684685 said…" Give me a break.
