I feel like that's the whole point of the OP. I agree with the overall post but mentioning the ICE relationship seems to detract from the main point. "I hate GitHub because X Y and Z features are bad" is a good reason to move away; "I hate GitHub because one of their thousands of enterprise customers does not align with my political views" is not, in my opinion. For the record, I do not support ICE

You got one. And how many good neighbors were dragged out of their cars, how many parents torn from their children, and how many American citizens wrongly harassed or dragged out of their houses for it? How many preachers praying peacefully in the streets were shot in the head?

This is not, and has never been, about the murderers. The murderers are the excuse, the people who are actually being harassed and brutalized are not them. And as mentioned, many of them are American citizens.

Check out this dude: https://github.com/GhostKellz?tab=repositories He's got like 50 repos with vibe-coded, non-working Zig and Rust projects. And he clearly manages to confuse people with it: https://github.com/GhostKellz/zquic/issues/2

Wow, and if you go to their website listed in they're profile, not only do almost none of the links work, the one that did just linked out to the generic template that it was straight copied from. Wow.

In a submission to OCaml, when asked why the files he submitted list someone else as an author he says, > Beats me. AI decided to do so and I didn't question it.° I find that sort of attitude terrifying. ° https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/pull/14369#issuecomment-35573...

that's a grifter doing grifting. there was a thread on /g/ about this guy the other day, anons digged out much of its past as a failure / grifter in many areas, running away with the money at the first problem

I'd be willing to put money that before LLMs they were all in ok crypto

FYI you're replying to the Joel the person being discussed. On HN he uses the username wagerlab

Yep, that's me! I will look into renaming myself, although don't think HN allows this.

You might try emailing them, they've renamed other accounts before.

oh god... he has a humongous AI generated PR for julia too https://github.com/tshort/StaticCompiler.jl/pull/180

I had $1000 in Claude credits and went to town. Yes, I made mistakes along the way.

Please don't tell me you actually spent $1000 on generating fake tests....

How is accessibility a political issue?

How is it not? In the not so distant past of the 1930s there were political parties advocating for the mass killing of people with disabilities, or at least the sterilization of those with heritable disabilities. There have been real campaigns in that period that did this type of forced sterilization, especially in some mental hospitals. You'll still find people espousing such beliefs, thankfully at the fringes for n…

Seems weird to me that anyone would frame it like this.

In my country (Spain) we put eg ramps for wheelchairs no matter the political party. It's considered a human rights or moral issue, not a political one.

Look at the absolute state of what they are working on. If they are not losers, they are dispirited clock-punchers who don't care about their craft.

It’s more likely that most of them are competent professionals doing their best in an impersonal corporate environment, just like the rest of us.

Shielding individuals from outside criticism is a big part of that impersonal corporate environment.

I guess we now have the equivalent of cowboy builders but for software now. Except no one asked for anything to be built in this case lol.

Even after the public call-outs you keep dropping blatant ads for your blog and AI in general in your PRs; there's no other word for them than ads. This is why I blocked you on the OCaml forum already. When I was a kid, every year I'd get so obsessed about Christmas toys that the hype would fill my thoughts to the point I'd feel dizzy and throw up. I genuinely think you're going through the adult version of that: you…

Good faith doesn't mean you can waste people's time. It's the reason why patents for perpetual motion machines are banned in most countries. The inventors often genuinely believe they've done it and want to help people, and yet it just wastes people's time having to review them.

In either case I'd argue it is no longer good faith if asked to stop and you continue and do not learn from your peers.

Ok, if you want to go down this road, should I start posting articles of religious leaders caught raping children? Should we be spending 170 billion a year trying to shut down all churches?
