You need to read more carefully. The author goes through great pains to ensure he doesn’t admit fault. Never once does he say “okay I admit, I should have been more careful.” He doesn’t take ownership ever over the fact that he made the mistake. He thinks this is all GitHub’s fault because of his misunderstanding and carelessness.



Not going to lie, this sounds like classic projection to me.

You must focus a lot on blaming in your life if that's what you mostly noticed when reading that article.

There's no way for either us to really know the author's intent or what he thinks - beyond the words on the page - but you seem convinced that "where the blame lies" was a major motivation, even thought it's all between the lines even by your own admission.

I read it differently, so as I said earlier, let's agree to disagree.


I think the more you write the less you make sense and you’re really grasping at straws here. Nothing you say at this point is more than strawmen, meanwhile everything I have said is not only internally consistent but makes perfect sense. I think you should give it a rest.
