    They only documented it after all the outcry, which is way too late.

    Documenting it post release still counts as having released undocumented behavior.

    And if its malicious (which this 100% is), then it doesn’t fuckin matter anyways lol. You now are treated akin to a trojan maintainer by companies. You’ll get flagged as “don’t ever use anything by this person”

    Super great way to get yourself flagged and lose any opportunity in the future for possibly licensing stuff you maintain for big bucks. What company would risk paying money to someone who does childish stuff like that lol

      imo it’s more accurate to call it polarizing and get you blacklisted by the types of people you maybe don’t want using your code anyways. Personally anyone doing this I’m going to be more likely to use their code

        I understand the sentiment, if you don’t like AI code generation you’re probably thinking you’re on the same side. But what happens if this person finds something else they hate that you don’t hate, and finds a way to sabotage that? They’ve already demonstrated a willingness to be destructive. And you’re running their code so they don’t need anything even remotely as dumb as some AI agents to exploit, they can just write destructive code normally.

          You can decide if you want to use it or not, at your own risk. It’s free software, written by people in their free time, they owe you nothing.

            Sure, you have that right.

            And companies will exercise that right by blanket blacklisting everything related to you which can have huge sweeping impacts on your career lol

            Its a super super stupid move to make. You are free to do a lotta other shit that tanks your career too lol
