If anything this makes me seriously rethink my use of homebrew. I already had security-related concerns around it, but the fact that he launched this weird crypto thing that's going to cause a lot of spam on GitHub is pushing me even further away.

It’s completely unrelated to Homebrew. We have zero connection to anything related to Tea and Max hasn’t been involved with Homebrew for the best part of a decade.

OK Great Leader. People are noting that the “Homebrew guy” is behind two back-to-back stupid ideas (that package thing and this). You can’t deny that he was involved with Homebrew and that’s all that’s being said.

The OSS CV thing can be a double-edged sword for all involved parties.

Unfortunately, this isn’t true. The comment you’re replying to was in response to someone saying they’d reconsider using Homebrew now over this, and that sentiment has been common in social media.

Thanks for Homebrew, it helps keep my Mac in line.
