@rysiek Right, I haven't actually paid much attention, so I don't know. I'm just saying that in the culture where promoting/marketing hobby/open source projects is even a thing, I would forgive making that mistake initially - but I'd expect a quick reaction on first signs of popularity and/or pushback. (Which obviously *still* did not happen)

I too dislike the entitled attitude of users of open source stuff.
*but* the moment this “toy project” became wildly popular, he should have taken down the website and put a big fat warning on GitHub to scare away people who are not experts (but have at least two brain cells). It’s this part that’s, as you said — utterly negligent.
