"I give you permission to publish Riju". Emm. Really? Since when does he hold such a power?
Since he thought he could sue a guy for literally making a tool to help people run shit in containers?

#23I'm in the minority (I think?) of people who felt that while there was an overreaction from Replit, there was some merit in their original complaint. I think that the situation has escalated though partly due to the approach of the former intern here, who - while rightly calling out the non-apology aspects of the apology is aggressive themselves now that the power is with them courtesy of the public exposure and gene…
I really respect that the author wrote this post. He may be just an intern but he was trampled on and exposed the true nature of the “leadership” at Replit. I will never use the service again and thank the author for speaking out and this follow up. I’d hire him in a heartbeat.

#24IANAL, but if Radon is reading this: in such situations, don't discuss things over the phone like the other guy proposed (you can see it was a mistake, with him "quoting" stuff you may not have said or that were taken out of context), only in writing.

#25Yeah, seen this before: people apologising not because they suddenly care about what they did to their victims, but because they care about what the world thinks about them. Edit: not responding to guilt but to shame.
Exactly this. He's only acknowledging that the legal threat was wrong when that was one of only several troubling behaviors.
In my experience, evasiveness and “baffling” behavior of this kind can indicate a deeply rooted in personality trait.
Personalities like this exist across the social stratum. They are something to take careful note of as quickly as possible and avoid.

#26Glad to see this outcome. However, too little too late for me. I'll look beyond Replit for ways to author and share runnable code in the cloud…non-VC-funded and open source extremely preferred.

> still refused to list any specific part of Replit he thought I had copied, even when I asked him for such details multiple times during the phone call, despite his continuing to claim both privately and publicly that I copied Replit unethically
The CEO Amjad Masad was still doubling down on claims that Radon is a thief on Twitter even after he apologized. And he still refuses to provide details or receipts to his public accusations, despite Radon's willingness to provide receipts.
But you are asking for Radon to be gracious?

> The blogpost here drilling down into every perceived slight and human failing lacks grace and magnanimity and doesn't seem much better at handling the favourable side of the power balance than Replit did in the original correspondence.
I think it's fair to forgive some lack of grace. Sure, the post could be more generous, but the whole handling could have been, and the poster wasn't the one making the legal threats.
