I still follow Dimitry on twitter for his technical talent, as I've done some palmOS software reversing as well, but man every other post is something along the lines of "we should let X group fend for themselves in a rattlesnake pit because they don't produce value".

All to say it's a major bummer his cool work is tainted by his dehumanizing words and I wonder if he understands how he comes off to people.

Dmitry was interviewed on the Unnamed Reverse Engineering podcast[0] a few years ago. I didn't feel like he came off at all like that in that interview, at least.

I don't interact w/ Twitter so I can't speak to anything he's written there.

This puts it rather lightly. I stopped following him when he started posting incredibly racist memes.

Any part you are referring to? I can't find any personal attack.

I actually like his writing style. I think he just speaks his mind in full honesty and you should not interpret it as aggressivity.

What's his x handle? It doesn't seem linked from his blog
