Yeah, I'm still not convinced if this guy is for real. But that's besides the point - them caving in to this insane demand on the spot is incredible. What's next - a word filter so I can't type "sjw" in VSCode? Seriously rethinking my decision to switch to this. This screams instability.


Don't panic. They're sheltered developers in a megacorp, it's most likely it's the first time they've encountered a 4chan psyop (or whatever tf this is), if they'd hear the term "nazbol" they'd probably think it's something about sports. And honestly, consider how that would go if this is a 4chan psyop: next time someone on the team says or does something genuinely horrible and gets fired, they'll have a few hundred cloned accounts calling them hypocritical antisemites.


It's almost certainly not 4chan imo. It's a real dev, with a name, profile pic, website, contact info and repos.


One does not exclude the other, in my experience.
