Toby is certainly an absolutely wonderful developer and person in general, easily one of my favorites and he pretty consistently has extremely respectable and admirable takes and practices and amazing humor and ideas, but acting as if he can do no wrong is a Lil bit too much, Toby is one of THE best but I don't think any human could be flawless as how I interpreted your comment. There's things I don't like about Toby, they're very infrequent and usually very minor but they're not nonexistent, again I'm probably reading too far into this and am being a bit too literal, sorry for that but I just tend to ramble a bit as I enjoy talking/typing, but yeah, Toby is a real gem of a man, but he has flaws too and it's probably best not to put him on a pedestal (Though he's certainly got fewer flaws than the large majorityof people).
