Meritocracy
Read OriginalThis article critically examines the idea of meritocracy, particularly in open source software communities. It argues that claiming a group is meritocratic is a non-falsifiable hypothesis due to the lack of an objective definition of 'merit.' The author warns that this belief can lead to ignoring issues of representation and leadership selection, and encourages major software foundations to reconsider using the term.
