When you’re looking at source code it can be helpful to have some evidence indicating who wrote it. Author tags give a surface level indication, but it turns out you can just lie and if someone isn’t paying attention when merging stuff there’s certainly a risk that a commit could be merged with an author field that doesn’t represent reality. Account compromise can make this even worse - a PR being opened by a compromised user is going to be hard to distinguish from the authentic user.
Looks like I got laid off today.
If anyone’s looking for a C++ developer with 5 years of experience, feel free to reach out. I also work with Python, Go, and C.
I’m open to freelance work too - programming and pixel art 🎨
