Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

This is like a human cell goofing up its p53 genes and deciding that being cancer is good actually.

This is a person who requested contributors who is suffering under an onslaught of AI generated bugs and people who know this project is in maintenance mode adding to that by making requests for QOL updates but who won't actually contribute to the project in any way.

Using AI because you're overwhelmed sucks but I don't have the ability to step up and help. If you do, then by all means.

Yes, people and companies should step up.

No, the answer isn't replacing the test suite with nonfunctional slop and running it as root.

It's all so amateurish and bizzare that my first thought was that someone stole the maintainer's account. I guess nobody's immune to the siren call of the slot machine.

It's unjustifiable bullshit.

Has anyone run the set against the recently added coverage support? Do we know if there where test cases for the CVE behaviour before the faulty patches were added?
