Meaning
This reads as a defense of changing one’s mind when the facts or argument shift. It contrasts public politics, where consistency is prized, with a hacker mindset that treats revision as a sign of clear thinking, not weakness. In a meeting or debate, it lands when someone admits a prior view was wrong and updates it without embarrassment.
