This is definitionally humble bragging. First of all the apology is in bad faith because there is nothing to apologize for. We are all giving the discovered CVEs attention (the brag component) under the guise of an apology (the humble component). I am being downvoted by well meaning, people pleasers that don't mind if they waste our time and attention doing it. Sounds great.
HN is just reddit light now. No meaningful conversation happens here and as such you should treat it that way now. I only post triggering bad faith arguments like the rest of the losers on this site
