Screenshot displayed seems generic coding style.
- edu 6y agoThe style might be generic, but the comments are exactly the same too. For me this creates a reasonable suspicion.
- saagarjha 6y agoAnd variable names as well. It seems to me that you can get from one to the author with an automatic formatter.
- aspenmayer 6y ago>And variable names as well. It seems to me that you can get from one to the author with an automatic formatter. Author = other Autocorrect Freudian slip? The rights of the author are key to the licensing issues this tweet raises.
- saagarjha 6y agoYes, I meant other ;)
- frob 6y agoAs someone who has taught and graded multiple coding courses, I've had students try to pull things like this off where they just change the formatting a bit and think they've pulled a fast one. This has resulted in many hard conversations and decisions. The code above would absolutely warrant an investigation in any course I taught.
- dharmab 6y agoVariable names and code comments are character-for-character identical. Highly unlikely for two programmers in different industries in different countries who speak different languages.
