Had a conversation with the Zigbook maintainer. It’s either a young kid or somebody that has some serious growing up to do. Just generally weird behavior.
Indeed: @zigbook changed the title "Fix license violations" "Im mad because you wrote code similiar to mine >:(" 3 minutes ago (https://github.com/zigbook/zigbook/pull/43)
I could sort of understand it if the PR used all sorts of judgemental/accusatory language or something. But it doesn't; it's straight-forward and factual. Outright bizarre behaviour.
I really loved this PR, very fair, appropriate, sensible, proportionated; masterpiece! Could easily be used as example in all git commit writing guides around (half-joking).
At one point they added a “R******D COMPLAINT” (censored for HN) ticket sticker to… idk, oppose AI-use accusations? Somebody seemingly talked them down from it though. Just bizarre. Like watching a midlife crisis through GitHub issues.
By that token, is the harmed party here also immature? Also do you work at GitHub and did he hurt your feelings by... being dead accurate as to several engineering failures?
I mean, focus on whatever you want, but he hasn't done anything Linus Torvalds hasn't done (at least similar enough).
