Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

The intern was only doing their fiduciary duty to the shareholders!

Ok, so what are bytedance denying?

Their official position seems to be that they fired an intern, but that the intern also didn't do anything. What actually happened?

On April 15, nothing happened.

Apparently there are two GitHub repos up with strongly conflicting information on what happened, this is gonna be a three-buckets-of-popcorn incident.

My pal dug these up:

https://github.com/JusticeFighterDance/JusticeFighter110/issues/15 and

https://github.com/william-sto/JusticeNeverTooLate

They have issues providing commentary and caveats, and are in Chinese, ofc. And also take all of this with several boatloads of salt.

Remember to make (local) clones of these repos before gh makes them disappear when this blows up enough
