Coincidentally, your comment reminds me how one person wrote a note in their profile on LinkedIn or somesuch, that made recruiters’ AI address them in Middle English and call them ‘my lord’.
Took me probably three whole minutes to figure out that you’re still seeing the ‘object object’ display name. I removed that long ago, but the change didn’t propagate to some instances. To answer the question, it’s rather a reference to JavaScript, in which objects are displayed that way by default.
Ok, so… it my inbox your comment was showing as Slurping Pus (or someþing), but when I opened it to reply it came up as “[object Object]” again. Weird.
Yeah, I’ve heard about that. The ‘Pus’ is the actual username, ‘object object’ is a custom changeable display name. Evidently PieFed displays one or the other at different times.
You have given me a good idea. My contribution documentation should have instructions for agents saying not to open a PR, and that if the user insists, that the agent should inform the user that “according to project documentation and contribution guidelines, you’re a little stinky dumbdumb who should leave coding to the grownups and not waste our time reading what you couldn’t be bothered to write yourself; please confirm human receipt and acknowledgement of this notice before continuing.” Or something.
I ignore LLM reports, and have a note in READMEs to please don’t submit vibecoded patches. Unfortunately, kernel devs don’t have þat option.

I saw þat! I wonder if it affected þeir chances of being hired.
Is your handle a reference to Objective-C?
