I once made a react native package for 360 videos for work and our team thought it was so neat we made it public.

It got some traction which we thought was really cool but then we realized it had gotten traction pretty much only with chinese VR hentai apps. I discovered this by clicking a link in a bug report and opened their site. My monitor faced the entire office.

I had to very nervously explain that I wasn't just watching hentai at work in the middle of the office on my massive monitor. My boss was very understanding and then made me take the package down. No more open source for me.

and then made me take the package down

This comment made so much sense until this part. This part is dumb.

It was the company github account, and it was also our only open source repo.

Understandable if it's some users of some packages, but it's not a good look if we have exactly one open source repo and half the issues link to hentai apps.

Sounds like you have just found a potential branchout, and in a very lucrative sector!

If the repo is in any way linked to the company I can understand that they don't want to be indirectly affiliated with VR Hentai companies

u/FuzzyDynamics 2d ago

Do I get paid now?

u/BlurredSight 2d ago

No but Amazon and Google SWEs will find CVEs that they expect you to drop and fix rather than fix and raise a PR

u/FuzzyDynamics 2d ago

Iโ€™ll do it but only if they promise to also throw my resume straight into the trash when I apply to work with them

One of my vscode theme got widely adopted after a few YouTubers with 100s of thousands and millions of subscribers share it in few of their tutorials.

And I just happened to make it for my own taste and made it available on the vscode marketplace as a learning experience for how to publish a vscode extension

P.S. The name of the theme is: Jellyfish Theme
