@p0358 I have hundreds of unread stupid emails in my inboxes but I don't demand blood over it.

Exactly. If it wasn't him, it was going to be some other hapless idiot in the future. That's why end users are the best form of QA.

@SGresponse You underestimate the entitlement of Indian "young naive developers" who tend to be members of the upper castes

@Adam-de8jm 99% of repos aren't this huge, and the ones that are don't do stupid things like force you to join a group in order to view a repo.

@p0358 Not excusing the bad manners but sadly this seems to just be the way things are done in India. It seems like people treat each other much more hierarchically on the job over there from my experience working with offshore teams. It's very counter-productive at times because they'll stay silent when they need to speak up, and so on.

@alexanderbateman5581 And it seems like over half of the people who reacted to his "lock it down" post did so disparagingly (with a thumbs down or laughing emoji). There are some repos which are truly cancerous though. The DOSBox repo maintainers were infamous for not accepting any outside contributions and doing absolutely fucking nothing, which is why some guy forked it into DOSBox-staging and is now actually developing it again.

@salsamancer Email is shitty anyway. Companies should use a modern messaging platform like Slack. Unless of course, you like receiving phishing emails because you gave your email to some booth at a tech convention that one time and those guys didn't give a fuck about your privacy.

I work in commercial software, and this is highly amusing and relatable to me. To be blunt, Indian developers do stuff like this all the time. They don't always get the social norms of first-world developers and they don't have the same education. The fact that some developers in this group assume this guy is a malicious actor just tells me they are safe and sound in their little bubble. I've seen far stupider things done by offshore Indian developers. From his (and frankly, my own) perspective, why would you expect any group on GitHub to contain 400k members? What is the point of a group of that size? Congratulations, you've successfully recreated stupid email groups normally only found in giant, poorly managed megacorps on your open source GitHub repository. The kind that were created when the company was small, then thoughtlessly added to as the company grew with no consideration to scalability, and suddenly when the company is big everyone stops using it as an unwritten internal rule because it's too annoying.

Yeah, babiiiiieee! That's what I'm talkin' about! WOOOOOOOOOOOOO

@smallcatgirl That's "public relations," marketing shorthand for how people view your brand. Completely different industry.

@jonathansmith1275 Uh... yeah, the woke media definitely perpetuates racist stereotypes towards Indians and doesn't advocate for infinite work visas. Sure.

@astronemir Too much Poe's Law to know for sure. I've seen Indian devs do far stupider things. One time a first year offshore DB developer broke a stored procedure I wrote two days before it was going to go live because he added "GO" at the end, which is completely fucking unnecessary, and for whatever stupid ass reason he didn't pull the latest before doing so AND THEN FORCE PUSHED OVER MY NEWER COMMIT, so it used an older version that had a bug in it. He did all of this without notifying anyone at all and without even being involved in the project. Fortunately my lead saw it the day before and I got extremely pissed off at him over Skype IMs. This guy's change wouldn't have broken anything.
