Like, do they not worry about people just editing everything and inserting porn or something? I doubt that they were smart enough to use branch protection. To be fair, when you're sending a mass spam campaign, you already don't worry about your reputation anyway lol

Yes, but did you get the job?

Also props for the image description.

Fun fact: I’m the reason people have to approve being added as collaborators for repos on GitHub now.

Reading the context of the YC post (post link is broken), this doesn’t seem like a thing I’d brag about. Sounds like you were just being kind of an asshole, as well as intolerant. There are more amusing and less trollish ways to white/greyhat platforms to encourage people to fix them.

Yep I was trolling zed.

However, accusations of homophobia and sexism are dumb and unfounded, as I’m actually gay.

I was also 20 so… find me one person who didn’t do cringy shit as a kid and I’ll give you a million dollars.

spambot has invited you to collaborate on we-had-a-baby-its-a-boy

Technus ,

I once had a spambot @ me and like 100 other people I didn't know on a repo I'd never touched before.

I reported it for spam and got an email from Github Support within an hour notifying me that they had taken action.

I remember that time some guy pinged nearly 40k people and single-handedly delayed GitHub's email servers by about 4.18 hours

Your Markdown link is backwards. It should be [link text]/(url) (delete the slash obvs)
