I was definitely getting ESR vibes when reading the Twitter thread, and was not surprised to see my suspicions confirmed here.

  What does ESR stand for in this context?

    Eric S. Raymond I assume. I’m not sure what the reference is about. Maybe some internet lore I missed.

      Yes, Eric S Raymond. He was well known in the late 90s / early 00s for taking credit for all kinds of things that he did not really contribute to. I believe that he turned 100% conspiracy theorist in recent years. He famously blames Alan Turing for his own judicial punishment and suicide.

    Some guy who went around claiming to be responsible for all kinds of stuff, when in fact he just didn't do all that much.
