Is GitHub really aiding and abetting this kind of anti-social behaviour/feature? This kind of allegation demands an official response, and soon. Otherwise it's mega bad PR.
More than anything, I'm surprised that you can add a collaborator to a project unilaterally. A way to request an add seems like a natural choice considering you can request pulls.
- rdtsc 15y agoIt probably was never a top priority feature ... until now. But they should definitely respond, with an apology, regardless if they all personally hate Zed and would love nothing more than see him get hit by a bus. Zed throws hissy fits about shit like this, and attracts trolls, because, trolls love public hissy fits. But at the same time Zed writes awesome code and is well known in the open source community. I am not saying whether we should personally like him or not, but Github getting into a spat with him over this in public can only result in their PR failure.
- zedshaw 15y agoI don't want an apology, I want them to add a feature that prevents people from abusing others. If throwing a "hissy fit" gets it done then rock on. If not then I'll go somewhere else. That's what's great about a meritocracy in a free market.
