I’ve seen this too, but mostly with the ‘team lead’ seniors- the ones interested in the management track.

On the other hand, a SE2 was asking me for help with something that was way off track from what they should have been doing. This isn’t a new SE2, but someone who seems the have topped out as an SE2. Anyways, they were not understanding anything I was pointing them towards, so I got frustrated and just gave them the exact prompt to feed into their AI. The AI fixed it for them. They were amazed by the result, but should have been horrified by their uselessness instead.

I don’t think it was clear, but thanks for the insight.

Was WolfSSL forced upon Elixir or Erlang? Did they purchase it and received a defective product? Are they held hostage by WolfSSL’s decisions? Are they not allowed to modify WolfSSL as needed themselves?

I fail to see any victims beyond perhaps the WolfSSL maintainers for having to suffer such entitlement.

> Asking me to open a new issue to discuss this behavior instead of it being a high priority for them to open up a new issue internally to fix this is odd. I'm not here to do their homework for them.

Why are people so entitled? How much is the author paying WolfSSL to make demands of them?

> Currently I've only identified one victim of this decision, but there's bound to be more out there.

Oh yes, he has become a victim of using a FOSS library.

I work for a midsized fintech and I feel the same way. At least about the tech side of things.

I know this is a joke, but in all seriousness it will probably be locked to a Samsung Thermostat controller with a screen - which can absolutely show ads - and require an App with GPS permissions to work (and use your location history to drive the advertisements)
