Going by the childish naming of the project, it doesn't inspire confidence in the professionalism of the author going forward, and neither will it help with getting it installed on corporate networks.

I'm all for vulgar wit but this isn't that (yes I'm aware of the -tty convention) & just reinforces the cliche of tech skills inversely proportional to social ones

Given the memory-unsafe vice signaling, maybe this can become the official terminal of Fox News and the Department of War.

This might not be something the author cares about. Compliance with corporate policies is certainly not something I've prioritized when giving away open source software for free.

I assure you, this is a very professionally made product:

- we have 5,000 tests covering all aspects of terminal behavior

- we have address sanitizer and ub sanitizer runs of these tests

- we also have regular fuzzing!

- we even monitor code coverage

This is definitely a top 0.1% GitHub project in terms of development approach.

I'm fine with it.

He took zutty (GPL licensed), shitted some claude on it, then released it MIT. A license violation, but not like it matters, since it will end up in the same heap as every other bozo's vibeslop. It is aptly named.

Why did you make this comment? It's completely off topic.

Your appeals to authority do not apply when the author is clearly telling you not to use it for that. We're well past the point where this kind of software eventually ends up under corporate use policy or any policy at all.
