Matt (Kip) Macy also showed "refined" leadership when he > told workers in September 2006 to cut the beams that supported (his tenant's) apartment's floor... They also shut off Morrow's electricity, cut his phone line and had workers saw a hole in his living room floor from below, prosecutors said. So yes, he has really refined leadership qualities! https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/S-F-landlords-charged-with-tenant-terror-3217848.php https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/S-F-landlords-charged...

Looks like the CoC mob has failed to run off a capable developer... for all we know that tenant might have one day contributed code - this is a gross violation of "applicable spaces" clause!

  Whatever does this have to do with codes of conduct? I mean, maybe software projects should have CoCs that say "do not do things likely to kill your tenants", but normally they're concerned with conduct within a project, and in any case "the CoC mob" seems to indicate you're somehow arguing against having and enforcing CoCs. Is there some background here that makes your comment make more sense than I'm currently able to get out of it?

      To be fair, I was originally replying to the complements about how amazing Kip Macy is, not OpenZFS. If the parent comment was about OpenZFS, I wouldn't have replied. I thought posting about Macy's multiple felony counts is a solid response about how amazing he is at leading folks. Also gtfo with your anti-CoC outrage with this. He didn't get caught using the wrong pronoun in a code comment. > Kip Macy is accused of three felony conspiracy charges, three burglary charges, two stalking charges, two grand theft charges and one felony count of shutting off service

        That is why Kip goes by his middle name now. He also moved from California to Washington. This was big news in SF Bay Area when it happened. It was FreeBSD's Hans Reiser moment. Another gem, Kip kicked one tenant in the chest while he was sitting on the couch and threatened him with a gun. I am curious if he ever reimbursed his parents after they drained their retirement savings and offered their house as collateral to pay for his $500k bail, which was forfeited after Kip and his wife Nicole decided to skedaddle to Europe instead of appearing in court. Kip continued to work on FreeBSD while on the lam in Italy with full knowledge of the core team, with many members actually defending his behavior. Kip and Nicole also never showed for the civil trial and lost by default. The original plea deal offered by the DA, before they absconded, was 6 months in county jail with charges reduced to misdemeanors. Instead, both were sentenced for 4 felonies and got 4.5 years (reduced for good behavior), with Kip ending up in San Quentin -- a maximum security prison housing California's death row. I remember ABC News did an interview with Kip while he was incarcerated and he blamed his tenants for all his troubles. At least he can no longer (legally) possess a gun since he is a convicted felon.

        This is indeed Hans Reiser-level drama. After reading about their shenanigans I can't believe anyone would choose to work with such a person. https://abcnews.go.com/US/exclusive-landlord-hell-defends-terrorizing-apartment-tenants/story?id=20875476 https://abcnews.go.com/US/exclusive-landlord-hell-defends-te...

illumos concern trolling, this has nothing to do with engineering leadership and is just lashing out a bad faith personal attack because you are friends with joyent people. Being unable to acknowledge that he served his sentence and is reformed indicates you are just hung up on a failed project that is as useful as spilled milk.
