<p>The US's master plan for aiding Taiwan revolves around assuming China will magically forget that transport helicopters exist and then dumbly force their entire armed forces into 1940's Higgins boats for conga line suicide charges into Taiwans most defended + mined beaches.<p>...It should go without saying that these are brain dead assumptions. China definitely has a much better plan than this.</p>

<p>I'm relatively confident this critique is AI-powered. The dead giveaways:<p>1. Verbosity. Developers are busy people and security researcher devs are busy even moreso. Someone so skilled wouldn't spend more than 2-3 sentences of time in critiquing this repo.<p>2. Hostility. Writing bug free code is hard, even impossible for most. Unless your name is Linus Torvalds, Richard Hipp, or maybe Dan Abramov, most devs are not comfortable throwing stones while knowing they live in glass houses.<p>3. Ownership. "Killshot" comments like this are only ever written by frustrated gatekeepers against weak PRs that would hurt "their baby". Nobody would get emotionally invested in other people's random utility projects. This is just a single python file here without much other context.<p>4. Author. The author is still an aspiring developer. See their starred repo highlighting adherence to SOLID/DRY principles as a primary feature of their project. Not something you'd expect to see from a seasoned security researcher. <a href="https://github.com/SSD1805/EchoFlow">https://github.com/SSD1805/EchoFlow</a><p>5. Content. The critique is... wrong. It says the single file, utility repo is "awful" for being a "less maintainable" monolith. Hilariously, it calls the code bad because it <i>does not need dependency injection</i>. This was a top critique in the comment!<p>--<p>Regardless of political persuasion, I hope this trend of using AI to cyberbully people you don't like goes away.</p>
