I think we all needed to hear this. Good perspective. Yeah, I skipped over the OP and went directly to the comments. Bad judgment on my part.
It's funny though, I checked his profile, and he indeed has PayPal and CashApp links. facepalm. It's clear what his intentions are.
- jart 2y agoOh wow I assumed he was anonymous. So his LinkedIn says he's done a lot of web development gigs. He's had a GitHub account for 15 years but hasn't shared any projects and there's lot of suspicious activity in previous years. His X account allegedly has 11k followers but his timeline gets almost no engagement. Now are you ready for the smoking gun? He told a nearly identical story on Hacker News back in July and managed to raise $765. - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40714641 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40714641 - https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-patricks-fight-for-stability https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-patricks-fight-for-stabil...
