I lost respect for Axios when they made a breaking change in a patch release. Digging into the root cause, I found the maintainer had approved an outside PR with an obvious AI slop PR description: https://github.com/axios/axios/issues/7059

Looks like the maintainer wasn't just careless when reviewing PRs.

True, but think of how many new successfully closed PRs will be created as a result of this ~~incident~~ opportunity. Exponential KPI growth!

That maintainer (also the one whose creds got stolen) also has an obvious chatgpt slop profile picture on github.
