He since commented on this post with a lot more detail.
- throwaway277432 5y agoHe wrote a great response. Not many people I know would stand in front of a online mob and say "It's code that I wrote". And then fix it on Christmas! While I'm glad this got resolved so quickly, I'm slightly ashamed of myself and the HN community for how we handled this. In hindsight the outrage was wildly out of proportion for a simple bug. I'll make a mental note to do better in 2022.
