Follow up: Thiel gave a (teenage) Summer some $$$ (ironically, the exact amount I guessed at randomly in my previous post!):
>In 2014, Peter Thiel's Thiel Foundation awarded a 19-year-old Jarred Sumner $100,000 along with mentorship.
So Thiel gave Summer, as a young starting entrepeneur, a $100k prize ... can you really fault him for liking Thiel a little after that? Apparently the OP does, and will refuse to use a technology Summer created simply because of it.
I'm saying if I'm a young dev, and I get $100k from a famous VC, I'm going to lean towards being a little bit more positive about him than most people ...
... but that doesn't justify boycotting the young dev and everything he ever makes in the future.
