Of course it hasn't. He can just publish it and all his ball licker fans will just gobble it up.

What was his Mastodon clone? I feel like his name sounds familiar, but I'm blanking on the app/website name now.

Of course. I was thinking of Nostr or something for some reason.

Thanks for the reply.

Looking at the code, it reads like it was written by LLM: chatty commit messages, lack of spelling/capitalization errors, bullet points galore, shit-ton of "Fix X" commits that don't read like they're increasingly-frustrated, worthless comments randomly scattered like "i + 1 // add 1 to i" without any other comments on the page.

No security review because none of the code has been reviewed and he doesn't know what's in it.

No one likes writing tests! Give him a break!

He said it's secure, so it must be true!
