Curl is struggling with this a lot. Its one of the most used packages out there so the dev keeps getting AI spam.
If I was a dev I’d have a zero-tolerance policy towards shit like this. I don’t care if the muppet is “just chrying to halp lol lmao”; people like this are a dead weight and a burden.
The reporter was banned. What else are you recommending?
I’m aware he was banned, the dev himself said it at the end. However I think it’s important enough to stress it, because people often give a free pass based on intentions, when IMO they shouldn’t.

Context: I’m a translator, and I used to be part of a few co-operative projects. (This was before ChatGPT.) A lot of what I’m saying is transposed from my experience into development.
- Check his tone. Neither rude, nor overly polite. That was perfect.
- If you suck at communication, let someone else do it for you. Focus on the work instead.
- Look for red flags of a sloppy job; if you find those, refuse the contrib, even if it would be otherwise good. It’s a good way to trial entitled people out, so they don’t harm your project. (Good contributors will be quick to fix the issue.)
- If you see yourself spending more time fixing the others’ shit than doing your job, raise your standards on what you’ll accept or not.
