Right? "College student tries to help out, program has bugs, HN loses their goddamn minds" lol

Edit: the replies to this comment are emblematic of HN losing their goddamn minds. Hey, y'all, sometimes humans are humans. Sometimes college kids have big ideas and don't nail it. Have a little empathy, have a chuckle, and move on.

"College students wastes maintainers times by pushing worthless PRs"

Moreover, they didn't contact the owner of the repository, who says they don't want bot flows.

Does being a college student mean you can just waste people's time?

I'm not sure what it is anymore. "College student" has a LinkedIn page that shows he's been at the college for 4 years and has had several internships in FAANG. The bot's linked website is slick and too serious to be an April Fools prank.

I wonder who the fools are if someone who can get internships at FAANG can't write a proper search and replace bot.
