His name is spelled "Gerard".

I hope everyone in this thread talking about feeling unsafe understands they can leave San Francisco. Lived in the Tenderloin for almost 4 years now and this type of discussion always fills my throat with bile. Haven’t posted on HN for a long time but wanted to emphasize how little I think of this rhetoric. “Progressive policies”? Use your words.

"The response was private so he shared publicly because it's relevant info for the community."

Made me feel very positive to see this comment in the replies, thank you! It was very difficult to focus the discussion on Twitter to why the engineer would feel sharing publicly was necessary in the first place, despite potentially losing their job.

I agree with this comment and I think it improves the conversation to have around, even if many people disagree with it.

I'm pretty sure the parent comment understands that they can, and also agrees that they shouldn't.

The sandyuraz.com dependency might be a good starting point for people who don't know how to make CSS styles, though, or want an example to go off of!

Telling hardware vendors not to modify kernel code feels grotesquely anti-competitive.

That's definitely correct^. In addition, I expect that this feature is intentional, as most requests will use well-typed thrift structs or graphql to perform backend requests (I think) and I would be surprised if the mute word filters were ever applied accidentally.

I work at twitter and wasn’t able to find out immediately, but have been collecting responses like these + the article and communicating with someone who knows what to do. I only found out about this over twitter and I am personally deeply frustrated and working to understand whatever led to this.

I disagree, it seems to be building on a lot of discussion build tool developers have been having recently. E.g. Pants (mentioned in the article) supports exporting not just scala but multiple other languages into an intellij plugin we also develop, and we are involved or familiar with the work at the scala center and I personally think this is really exciting, and that the LSP analogy is pretty reasonable for the type of operations they intend.

OK, found out what a bare repository means and pretty sure that's what it refers to. Still can't find any documentation for the query string parameter and don't know how that makes sense for github's repository view page.
