I think it is distasteful and disrespectful to call out an employee by name in this way, regardless of the merit of the rest of the OP's post.
There's no value in naming the employee. Whatever that employee did, if the company needed to figure out who it was, they can from the commit hashes, etc. But there's no value in the public knowing the employee's name.
Remember that if someone Googles this person for a newer job, it might show up. This is the sort of stuff that can disproportionately harm that person's ability to get a job in the future, even if they made a small mistake (they even apologized for it and was open about what caused it).
So no, it's completely unnecessary and irrelevant to the post.
Isn't that beneficial in this case?
Not to sound too harsh, but this is a person who rudely let AI perform a task badly which should have been handled by just… merging/rebasing the PR after confirming it does what it should do, then couldn't be bothered to reply and instead let the robot handle it, and then refused to fix the mess they made (making the apology void).
That's three strikes.
I'm sure lots won't, but if that is you as an employer you're worth nothing.
As a certified former newborn, I should tell that finding the tit as a newborn is way harder, and yet here we all are.
"Struggling manfully," my arse, I don't know if the bar can go any lower...
That's the whole point; I sincerely hope it does. Why would anyone want to hire someone that delegates their core job to a slop generator?
So you'd rather the company get incomplete information about a candidate with hopes the candidate gets hired from a place of ignorance? If it's something the company would avoid hiring him for, then I don't find a problem with giving them the agency to make that decision for themselves.
What does respect mean and how was it violated by this post?
I think you are far outside the mainstream of journalism norms and ethics and as such should bear the burden of explaining yourself further.
I think you're the one being disrespectful.
On the one hand, you're right, it is distasteful, I completely agree. On the other hand, GitHub and Google and the public domain internet isn't everybody's CV that they can pick and choose which of their actions are publicised, tailored towards only their successes.
