  • I am nowhere close to be as smart as him or people like him, but I abandoned a project because of sloppy massive PRs and started refusing to put my name / approval on most PRs at work also because of the same thing, I am the tech person who stayed the most here and not gonna waste my time reviewing slop for others to take credit (just push it with Claude, dev XX will review it properly before it hits prod).

    The decline started, but I will keep protecting my side in this company while I am here. I use LLMs occasionally (so I am not going against management trying to make us more productive) to type less, or extract smaller snippets, … but the change is 100% what I had in mind and I hold myself 100% responsible for the output.

    Stealing is obviously a dumb analogy, it doesn’t remove the ownership from the original owner.

    You are selling computers, I buy one then I find a way to replicate the computers you are selling and I give them away for free, it makes me a thief? or the end consumer a thief?

    Originality and work is definitely yours, so it’s definitely a gray area, but quite an exaggeration to call it theft.

    Last point is the related studies that people pirating are either getting it for free or never paying for it anyways.










  • Yep, I am suggesting to not try at all until they make it clear how am I going to comply? which will lead to “I am not gonna put any resources into this feel free to fork it and do that”. We agree it’s stupid-ass but we need to help them understand that.

    Like prepare a reply why I didn’t put age verification into my custom Arch .iso from now rather than find solutions for them. They also have to block my website and torrents somehow, not me having to geo block other struggling souls like myself sitting somewhere else (I don’t even put captcha in my websites, just a rate limiting value that a normal person would never be able to reach).
