Hello Manuel Odendahl,

thanks for your article.
It's easy to read and feels very emotional without being offensive, which I respect a lot.

I agree with "Discussing technology should be a dialogue driven by compassion and respect.".
I also don't like gatekeeping and I think it's a lack of education on how to approach issues without being harmful.

I once heard an interesting phrase that goes like this: "Don't criticize beginners but help them grow because a beginner doesn't yet have the knowledge to understand criticism or if the criticism is even valid."
