The FAQ explains how to create them. They rarely get enough traction (upvotes). I see 5 users gave an answer plus 3 comments but nobody upvoted the poll itself yet.

Booo for not waiting for the developer's response. It hasn't even been 24 hours. It's not even July/4th in Europe yet.

We have no malicious intentions. Our only goal was to identify these security issues and inform the developer so they can be fixed.

conducted this research in good faith.

Posting it online the same day, then posting on HN to promote it isn't good faith.

My last customer service call was fast (connection time) and friendly. The person wasn't sure so she said "let me ask my colleague $female-first-name" and I heard her typing. "Is $female-first-name an AI chat bot?" Yes, it was, and then she read out a whole answer, an excerpt that's already on the website. In this case the person added little extra value and I guess will be replaced soon.

It already has too many features and the author keeps adding more. Timers, notifications, additional notifications to tell me about new features he added. It (the sandboxes in soloterm) don't work well with my virtual machines, I'm sure it's my setup, in general sandboxes are good approach. All seems geared towards coding 24/7 and multiple agents on the same code base. Meanwhile even if code in parallel it's usually separate projects, separate languages. I can imagine you don't want to hear "less features" and look for more features to add instead.

How is the $5 calculated? It's in the title but not article text or the press release it's based on.
