- sillysaurusx 4y agoMistakes happen, and I’m a fan of mea-culpa reversion, as long as they undo their mistake quickly. Undoing it in a few hours (at 7am Seattle time, no less) seems fine. Shaming people (and entities) after they publicly admit a mistake tends to encourage them to dig in their heels and never revert. GitHub has a stranglehold on developer culture; they easily could have kept him banned. But whoever got him unbanned is also a part of GitHub, so they’re worth praising. I agree it wasn’t ideal though.
