> You should think this "wow, the author of one of the most popular frontend tools of today just used my work as reference. It's an honor."

By far my favorite and most ridiculous tweet I've seen in this thread.



That is by far one of the worst takes I've seen. Beyond the fact that he A) has no skin in the game, so why comment, he B) is assuming to know "how" someone should feel about anything.


Welcome to Twitter!


I've seen this argument before, when someone copied a piece of software (by me) and, when caught, advertised the replacement of the copyright statement and reattribution as significant "improvements and extra functionality" to his fan base. This attitude has been around for a while.


I feel like I'm in a bizarro world the number of people supporting the forker or trying to make it off like its just an innocent mistake.


That reads like obvious sarcasm, but the follow-up comments by same author made me doubt it.
