Wow that’s infuriating. Fascinating watching the maintainer respond in good faith.
bagder is both extremely grumpy about the state of it and fascinatingly patient.
He's like 80% wise old barn owl.
He's a pillar of the community. When i was starting out i made a basic PR to cURL to fix some typos and he was kind enough to engage and walk me through some other related changes i could add to the PR.
I think he's a genuinely nice person.
Here's a list of AI slop reports: https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2025/07/14/death-by-a-thousand-s...
I've read all of them. It's interesting how over the last 2 years badger moved from being polite to zero fucks given.
He goes from badger to badger badger badger (mushroom) to honey badger to (next step) bagger 288.
