Yes, it is. You literally used the words "in the past." If you don't like his new browser engine, fine, but repeating this two minutes hate every time one of his projects gets posted on HN is self defeating and toxic.
- mtlynch 3y agoI would agree that people are giving Medvednikov an unreasonably hard time if he learned from his mistakes, but everyone kept bringing up his past anyway. But it just seems like Medvednikov keeps repeating the same patterns over and over. He's making dubious claims about software without sharing how he arrived at those claims, and he's calling something open-source when he hasn't released the source. Why should people who know about this pattern stay silent and allow others to be misled by the same patterns?
- lylejantzi3rd 3y ago> He's making dubious claims That's your opinion. I don't agree with that characterization of him or his projects at all. It's a convenient way to give yourself some cover for attacking a creator you don't like.

- dario_od 3y agoIsn't it what's happening now with vox?
- amedvednikov 3y agoV has been open source since its release on June 22, 2019. Vox is not released yet, and the website literally says "upcoming".
