DoorDash login has the absolutely bizarre behavior that if you've logged in from a given IP address before, then future sign-in attempts from the same IP will reveal your phone number given only your email address (before actually authenticating).

Reviewing your "contribution" is actually more work for a maintainer than it is for them to direct their own agent to fix the same bug.

Like your personal AI lair. The agents were "minions". You built "gadgets". See "AI" is right there in the name: "l-ai-r" I even registered lairs[.]net. And you're mad about it being called an OS?
