Also, looking through the authors articles, frankly, the list looks like low quality human slop.

And I can't find any evidence they're actually involved with any development projects either. Literally ANY projects including stupid little pet ones every dev has

I mean, having pet projects doesn't require being "involved" with one nor requires making anything public...

Except I can't see any references to this guy getting involved with any projects at all at a technical level.

If you check his articles, he's definitely targeting a specific crowd based on what I can see too.

Saying "there is an AI bot that identifies if code is obviously bad" doesn't really make an exciting story though...
