The whole thing is ridiculous. He compares a curious nerd with the hacktoberfest disaster in order to discourage people, and then describes what happens in a professional context where you are paid to code.
A "senior" developer with less than 10 years of experience, an empty GitHub repo, and a fake degree should be more humble.
Sorry for the rant but he’s not helping anyone. There are abuses, but we should encourage juniors, not describe the open source world like that.
