Friend who is not a software person sent me this tweet, which amused me as it did them. They asked if "runk" was real, which I assume not.

But what are some good examples of real ones like this? xz became famous for the hack of course, so i then read a bit about how important this compression algorithm is/was.

The core-js story always makes me sad. Sure, he's developing an open source project and no one HAS to pay him. But the meager amount of donations and the tons of hate he receives isn't justifiable.

It's especially sadder when a substantial amount of the donations vanished when Open Collective and others stopped operating to Russians.

I had seen the hate before and foolishly just assumed he was deserving of it. Its a horrible situation he's in and he is being cast in a bad light because he reached out for help.
