He's implying here that Radon used source code from replit. That's a pretty big claim to make, I'm curious if that's the case.

The post is ambiguous, as "copying it" could also mean "copying the feature after seeing our code".

> As a matter of principle, when someone goes into your home and steals from you, even if it's not material, you have to respond.

That sounds like a a disingenuous way of admitting that he knows he’s lying.

What if you invite them into your home and then 2 years later, you see that they have decorated their house with obvious inspiration from your own home decor?

If that's what it means, well, seeing the code two years ago is a total non-issue where the setup is so basic and the majority of languages are new ones.

But your interpretation seems way too generous when he compares it to going into your house and stealing from you.
