The author is the CTO of Zerodha, India’s largest online brokerage. Not that it matters, just an observation.
I'm not sure which comments you're finding weird, but I spot checked a bunch and didn't see anything that looked particularly bogus, other than https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47026348 and some trollish ephemera.
The upvotes on the submission look legit to me, as does the submission itself.
AI Slop, basically a couple of LLM prompts will generate similar shit now.
Sad that HN is now also getting boted by LLMs. People are just shameless. HN is one of the few places left where you can post / self promote something you have made only for people to take advantage of it.
You are jumping to conclusions. The author is the CTO of the largest online brokerage in India but more importantly, they have created many open source software of good quality. His website and blog are of great quality. Whether you think this library deserves more attention or not is your personal preference but it is far from spam. I havr no affiliation with them but like their work.
