Anyone remember the XZ and Jia Tan situation awhile back? I can’t quite put my finger on why but the entire time I was reading this I kept thinking back to that.

Everything about this story, from the way it’s written to the self destructive outcome, reminds me of the “I hacked 127.0.0.1” episode from some twenty years ago.
A third user expressed a more sympathetic view:
I really wanted to dislike the anonymous operator for the careless project… Then I imagined the real-but-unknowable chance it was all set up by some kid just getting into computers, just seeing what’s possible, getting excited by a much bigger world at reach — and remembered my own expensive mistakes with long-distance BBSes & the like.
