This is such a HN comment. Yes, I am not hiring those people either. If that sounds unviable or even uncommon then you’re just too deep in the culture. This is quite common.
If you are wholly confident that model training is a violation of the GPL then go sue.
No, it’s not. Please think like a developer and not like someone playing amateur gotcha journalist on social media. Feature flags are (ab)used in this way all the time. What is a feature? What is a feature flag? It’s like asking what authorisation is vs all your other business rules. There’s grey area.
This is the sort of clickbait self-affirming tripe that HN absolutely eats up because they get to extrapolate it to “the only worthwhile employee is a software developer that’s very skeptical of business-speak but often falls for their own sometimes equally absurd tech culture BS-speak”
“No, but it reflects badly because it’s an error, and because it’s an error it contributes to error fatigue, which is bad” is a very verbose way to say that you don’t have an answer.
