I get that to a degree, I don't know this guy but I know the type, there's being a centrist and then there's being a hand wringer and that's what really most centrists are which is why I totally understand finding centrists cringe as well and I roll my eyes at it every time. It's easy to play the decent guy being a fence sitter and Tim Pool did that brilliantly well and he got caught out having an affair. I remember watching David Rubin back in the day and I thought he had some decent takes too, yeah he turned out to be a bit of a shady fuck.
Dev is one of those guys who it's alright having on your side as he'll never betray you. Put it this way, he's one of the original GGers and despite some of the bullshit he sometimes says, he's still friends with Sargon and Arch compared to MANY from the old days that went off the deep end..
One thing I'll give him credit fir is he thinks in a way different from us so brings up things we'd have never thought of. Him sharing these points means we are less likely to get blindsided because we can't understand their thought process.
Ugh, classic let them fight moment
Nah, dev actually seems like a decent guy even if I wholeheartedly agree that his enlightened centrism is a huge turnoff.

If that's the case then I hope you're right, I am a cynical bastard so I'm deeply suspicious these days of most people.
