The man who sabatoged his own code, should and will be blacklisted from any IT job in the long term.
My current project has (some) Javascript on the server-side. We had a bug where -- mysteriously -- some email addresses failed to validate. The issue turned out to be that the JS code was validating them against the regular expression "[Object]" ... I'm not kidding. Email addresses that contained one of the letters in "Object" validated; others didn't.
Trust open source libraries only from reputable and established sources like Apache SF, Google, VMware etc. Use anything written by individuals or independent third parties at your own risk.
they send me daily e mails looking for my project for them
I am delighted to have people use the code I have open sourced and would never think to damage it. If I wanted to be paid for it I wouldn’t have open sourced it. Don’t think anybody would have used it if I tried to sell it anyway, so just decided to be nice and make my own small contribution to open source, since like everybody else I have benefited by others doing the same. And open sourcing may help improve reputation and make it easier to get a good development job...but not if you are the kind of jerk that breaks their stuff to screw others...
Since software began the actual programmers have been given Hind Teat. The Managers have wanted to take the bulk of the profits from people who can do what the Managers could never do.
It just goes to show you how truly powerless everyone is. Even the programmers in their personal lives depend on other programmers.
Just look at the last week’s revelation that some guy could control Tesla’s all over the world. And you want to give Amazon the ability to open your garage door? Please...
This complete reliance on Smart This, Smart That and the Cloud is Mass Suicide.
Node = inject a couple thousand sketchy dependencies in your code.
Depending on the damage done he may be open to legal action.
> wrecking your code isn’t the way to persuade others to pay you.
I don’t know. I think this is sort of tough shit for corp mgrs allowing immature nerds to make important decisions.
And not taking responsibility for their own branches (which would prevent a live shutdown as described in this article).
And preventing real, trustworthy software engineers longfrom making important decisions.
The web is still to a large extenat a fool’s paradise. Whatever real smarts the inventors 25 years ago is mostly gone; certainly not carried on in the newer folks - a bunch of vain __ssies.

Here's the Aaron Swartz stuff - YMMV.
Aaron Swartz murdered? Hmmm.
That would contradict the official story line as told by the MSM liars.
