This person just shared (for free) tons of experience, knowledge and insight into thinking/problem-solving process, for others to enjoy and learn from - and your only comment is attack on them for "stealing" somehow, by not sending e.g. 300 WA messages, but instead kilobytes of HN content?

How much would you calculate was stolen this way? Based on which factors?

As a side note, those pesky "tech people" are most certainly not THE most paid profession, now or ever.

I wouldn’t be upset to see a disclaimer that this was done as a proof of a technical concept and not to save a buck.

For readers, I totally understand trying at once but it would be odd if e.g. someone I know who makes six figures told me they exploited this on every leg of their journey.

We wouldn’t want to fill our water cups with soda even if it only costs the restaurant a penny.
