  1. for proper context you'd have to look at the repo has it was when the tweets went out https://github.com/harthur/replace/tree/431b1e183a4bd43046af... but it doesn't matter as those tweets are trash, specially coming from other OSS devs

  2. I can't help but feel like I'm missing context here. The project ( https://github.com/harthur/replace ) seems like a vaguely reasonable "grep with a simpler interface and a regex syntax I'm already familiar with" kind of utility. It's far…

  3. …delusions of persecution are staggering. [1] Here is what they saw, no indication of femaleness: https://github.com/harthur/replace > I’m not entirely sure what drives someone to the conclusion that because “harthur”, which turns out to be…

  5. I just gave the code a quick look and I find this `eval` usage not too cool: https://github.com/harthur/replace/blob/master/replace.js#L4... It relies on the fact that you can provide javascripts String#replace a "replace function" (1).…

  6. …sufficiently humorous to retain, for example. The nesting goes a little deeper than I would like: https://github.com/harthur/replace/blob/master/replace.js#L9... is 7 indents deep, for example, where I think something like 4 indents is a…

  7. …very unconstructive way. Here's his quote from twitter: > Ever wanted to make sed or grep worse? http://github.com/harthur/replace In the world I live in, that's called being an asshole. Look, I'm not saying these guys should apologize (in…

  10. OK... I usually don't involve myself in drama, but I looked at the code: https://github.com/harthur/replace/blob/master/replace.js Out of all the code could say "eyes bleeding" that doesn't even come close? Only thing that stands out is…
