Aren't you the guy who claimed to have 20 years of experience engineering viruses, then someone checked your linkedin to call your bluff? Did you take your website link off your profile so you can pretend to be important?
Seriously? This guy spent far too many words wasted speculating about something that is transparently obvious. https://github.com/malware speaks for itself. The Github rep should have said - "Dude, name yourself malware and you're surprised stuff like this happens? Try changing your name to NULL and see how that works out for you."
I've heard of him before but never really read anything much by him. Is this guy for real? He worked at one startup, got angry about a database, became a consultant, and screams about everyone being wrong about everything?
um yeah... i misread the article, didnt think he correctly linked to you, just thought he called you a "non-famous programmer dude". sorry, should have been more thorough (but i never imaged this post would get ranked so high -- who knew)
just an announcement, fakepaul.blogspot.com is open
I know who the owner is, he isn't fake and reached out to me personally, but I didn't feel comfortable doxing him without his explicit permission.
I don't necessarily agree or subscribe to all of these points, just found it interesting there was someone very passionate about the process of software engineering interviews who had made an entire website dedicated to it.
I think the blog author is implying as much as he can, without directly accusing, that he believes that https://github.com/shinnn was responsible for the bad code, not a random hack.
I skimmed it because it looked not worth my time. But even then, who was the person, and why does it matter they're inaccurate on some LinkedInsque piece? I'll continue to think this is standard large project FOSS drama.
I like Rust, and want to know if there's a real issue, however.
I thought his comment implied it. In addition his profile has his website which makes it quite clear he works for Wolfram (about and github): http://taliesinb.net/
If someone posts a link in their profile and you don't follow it, they can't be held accountable.
Based on the git code, it seems like the person is into blockchaij/web3 development and searching for the username on social profile finder. Seems like I found a person whose profile has a similarity, assuming the person uses the same username everywhere.
https://www.linkedin.com/in/swarnabhasinha in case it helps you to contact them and ask them politely not to do it.
His linkedin profile and his repository contributions match AstrotechLabs.
Before I checked what it was, I checked the profile of the person behind it and saw that he had contributed to open source code for more than a year. I thought that was very cool and noble and continued to read the readme of the repository and found out that everything about the person's history is fake
So if your purpose was to make people believe that you're a good contributor and then realise you're just a liar who fake his contributions, you've done the right thing!
The commentary may have been more relevant in the 90s and more about people calling themselves random names and writing viruses, rather than contributing to Open Source with their names standing behind their work.
