Looks like that substack just copied a bunch of quotes from this Stack Exchange post: https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/163185/torvalds-q

  Didn't even bother to change the order of the quotes. That's bold.

    And that paragraph at the end came out of nowhere: > It’s why one of the Senior Engineer (L5) requirements (at least for FAANG) generally involves writing higher-level design docs for more complex systems (which includes driving team planning and building good roadmaps for medium-to-large features).

      I wonder if he'll file a bug report with whatever AI ghostwriter he's using.

        All gen AI is unattributed plagiarism, but not all unattributed plagiarism is gen AI.

          Sorry, I was being flippant. The author, of course, could be an old school plagiarist.

  I've changed the URL from https://read.engineerscodex.com/p/good-programmers-worry-about-data https://read.engineerscodex.com/p/good-programmers-worry-abo... now. Urgh spammers. There was a wave of this substack spam a couple months ago and I suppose this is the same bad actor starting up again.

    Sorry about that. Next time I’ll do more research.

      Thanks rbanffy - and thanks for being a great HN contributor. It would be good (not just for you but any of us) to do some googling for language drawn from substacks to see if they're lifted from other sources - because I think this spammer has been specializing in creating substack sites for a while.
