I contributed cool (in my opinion) feature to cline fork (roo code) that allows you to see model reasoning and did lot of research and experimentation how to make deepseek-r1 and derivatives perform the best.<p>For open source work the only thing that you get is basically some recognition and that feeling that a lot of people use your work on daily basis.<p>Unfortunately cline founder decided to copy my work and pretend that it's their own innovation.
While I have nothing against using my code in any codebase, if they just cherry picked my commits I would be proud that my work can live in another project.<p>Unfortunately they are silently denying any attribution which kills joy of spending my time for continuing and is especially hurtful when it's some company does extra steps to to remove your authorship form commits.
