Sure, you go first. Make sure your work is highly visible and regulated for extra challenge mode.

Edit: I'll do you one better, there may be a reason that academics and others up/downstream from you gave an OK. They might even receive fees, and play 100% dumb when you try to blow a whistle! Just spitballing here.

Yeah, this is important to look out for, one way to tell it is probably happening is if the contractor has the word 'Labs' at the end of the LLC name.

Yes. It's even more frustrating when you land in an office full of them.

I've been poking at something like this for a while now, almost exactly the same intention. I'm gonna try and contribute instead, this rules.

Employers are already including 'proof-of-life' checks on the low hanging fruit freelance sites such as Upwork. One example is literally having to get on a virtual call and obstruct your face with your hand or something similar to prevent passing any automated checks.

Cat and mouse.

> that someone at Amazon merged for some reason

Yeah, the sensation is that the PR to a highly visible public repo did what it said it would on the box

If you're trying to get back into full-stack javascript or python engineering, you get to practice writing your own authentication layers and self-managing any dependencies you use for edge cases that don't make sense when you're normally working on backend.

It's great! crazy eyes all seriousness though, it's a terrible solution for the "vibe" space in terms of how careless people are about it. There are thousands of "who-knows-who-made-this" servers for major integrations out there.
