I expect better from David Gerard. Andrew Tridgell is an S-tier developer that is getting older, and has been asking for assistance for a long time. When help never arrived he turned to LLMs and is now getting insanely harassed for this decision by the exact same people who sat back and refused to help him.
If you ask me the real slop is articles like this from people who prefer to put their energy into bitching and moaning about how someone else spends their free time. The idea that it’s ok to bully someone for the “crime” of not maintaining “critical infrastructure” for free goes against everything FOSS stands for.
No one is shaming him for not maintaining the project, we are, correctly and righteously, shaming him for using the Torment Nexus
“When help never arrived, he actively chose to make everyone else’s life worse.”
As Yoda would say, a fucking river cry me.
He doesn’t owe you shit. You don’t get to harass someone because you don’t like how they spend their free time.
I absolutely do get to call everyone who uses LLMs chuds, I actually do it all the time, it’s a great past time that keeps me healthy and moisturised.
And you don’t get to complain about me spending my free time banning you. Bye!
wow that guy really went for it huh
“Not maintaining” would be better than what happened.
Yep. Better to have no updates than to have broken updates.
Big “it’s your fault I hit you” energy.
Honestly, I almost brought the banhammer down for this. Making excuses for shitty programmer behavior is bad. Doing it by pretending they’re like victims of domestic abuse is worse.
