Timeline of events
- Day 1. A developer finds an 11-line repo that does HL7 padding.
- Day 2. They ask Claude: “Can you rewrite this repo by changing the variable names and adding emojis in the commits?”
- Day 3. 11 lines become 4,200, the MIT license vanishes, the README announces “a padding revolution”.
Verdict
A masterpiece of inflation: 381 times more code for exactly the same result.
Recommendation: Removing the license notice from an MIT project doesn't release you from its obligations.
