So, Jamie Pinheiro -- Why does someone who apparently has the means to work internationally and across various US states on brief vacation holidays lasting only four months every time at highly prestigious companies, decided it would be a good idea to make a shitty regex script and release it untested in the real world?

Anyone know what sort of programme this is, unless he's just lying completely because he's apparently just finishing up a BSc in compsci if his Linkedin is any indication.

He is your average (pajeet) "programmer" who reads just enough blog posts to claim he knows the technology and spends his free time memorizing coding interview questions in order to land a job at these companies. As this incident shows, he cannot do real work, so he leaves just as his teammates are wising up to his bullshit. But this is how the system is set up, so he will continue doing it this way throughout his life and the only ones who suffer are those who work with him or his "contributions" directly.

Those are probably all co-op internships. It’s kind of weird that he doesn’t specify that, even though it’s pretty obvious. Also LOL at his “social distancing gamification” project. That pretty much confirms that he’s a true believer and is doing this for clout.

If that's true, then pardon my ignorance as all internships I know of in the US are only during the summer.

Yeah, standard internships are usually over the summer but co-op internships are during the academic year since they count for course credit. Waterloo has a popular co-op program since they are one of the top CS schools in North America.

i wonder why github even tolerates bot accounts in the first place

There's probably utility in managing your own repos with a bot, so like making sure bug reports are in a uniform format and things like that. Though there should be a bot flag on the account and I should be able to mark my own repos as "no bot posting allowed".

There are loads of useful bots, but those are the kind of bots that *you* add *yourself*. I've never seen a useful bot that opens PRs on random repos.

The same applies to those stupid Reddit bots by the way.

Exactly. Most bots are the handmade solution to what would otherwise be manual drudge work. Removing bots from the platform would be a huge blow to people who are managing sprawling codebases with lots of contributors. The real issue is there's almost no enforcement against people who abuse the system like this.

The Schlinkert schtick? Maybe, but this guy seems more like clueless. He actually did some useful work on Google, so he probably has no need to inflate some bullshit stats, but on his resume he brags about using Clubhouse, which means he doesn't read NYT. I think this is a prime example of a useful idiot - he doesn't think much about politics, he read somewhere that this is now a thing some charities care about, so he got to work. "I'm gonna do something for the common good" he thought.

Weak. IMO his best package is is-even, which contains a single function that tells you if a variable holds an even number. It has 4 dependencies:

Also, his library "micromatch" (the one I linked, which is basically some thin wrapper around regex), until version 4.0 used to depend, among 82 total, on 4 different versions of his other package "kind-of". Micromatch is in dependencies of webpack, which is used pretty much in every front-end app, and all versions before <5 will put all this shit on your hdd.

Oh man, I looked into the PRs. Those are hilarious. At the beginning, his regex didn't detect word boundaries, so you have shit like this:
theyreby.png
For some reason, he thinks "Major" or "Host" should never be capitalized (was there some drama around these words? I can't remember):
major-minor.pnghost.png
He also doesn't love his missus:

Jon Schlinkert (notorious npm package spammer) and maybe Kenneth Reitz (god complex mentally ill person who wrote requests) could maybe get threads if they generate enough controversy.
Schlinkert is weird in that no one can tell if he's spamming repos to inflate his credentials or if he really believes that having thousands of trivial repos is the actual right way to do things.

Every now and then on reddit he gets brought up. https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/comments/c5z8m3/whats_up_with_all_the_small_packages_in_node/

There was a tone policing bot at a former employer that read slack messages globally in the business. It would tell you to be nicer if a word in its regex was detected. At least it was ridiculed by people in the main channel. People actually believe they are making the world a better place by policing your behavior.

I had no idea that GitHub has a fucking Patreon clone built-it that these spammers are making bank. Over 1000 packages, 7% of the total downloads in Node.js...

Only 13 sponsors and most are probably at that $5 tier… he's making less than $100 a month from GH sponsorships. Not exactly making bank.

That said, GH gives all sponsorship money to the devs; it doesn't take a slice out as Patreon does (though I presume they might start at some point). A perk of sponsorships not being the actual product of your site, I suppose. So it's not a bad way to throw a few bucks to someone who makes your your job and/or life better through software.

This is his own explanation:

I don't know, he may be like one of those crazy preachers who combine weird beliefs with a good sense of money. He also posts very cancel-worthy stuff on twitter. In fact, his feed is like 99% republican sperging, the usual opinions on the election and 01/06 included. Somehow he wasn't canceled for that, perhaps because he has very few followers on twitter.
