Politicians are obligated to answer questions from journalists and engage with the people. Devs are not. Mute to your heart’s content 😘

You can mute whoever you want, but know that muting someone carries a cost.

even politicians do not have to. They are free to not answer any questions at all. That would however likely endanger their future in politics.

Yeah, they wouldn't ignore the questions if they had to answer.

It's all a question of cost.

Yes, because they are dependent on the people that they represent and must answer to. A developer doesn’t have to answer to other developers

Famous last words.
