Article note: Some startup dbags managed to raise $20 in VC money to put a thin proprietary web-frontend veneer over a bunch of open source programming tools and rentseek off of it (which is, frankly, a minor variation on how most of the tech start-up scene seems to work these days).
Then one of their former interns built an all-open-source similar veneer in a couple afternoons.
Then their CEO threatened him, and made passive aggressive social media posts about 'copycats' and 'innovation.'
Looks like even the HN startup-douche circlejerk isn't buying this one.
