You're so self-righteous

No need for insults.

what compels the carpenter to make it to your specifications? Even if you paid him? Nothing.

Violating a contract has penalties. Yes he can ignore it and then give your money back with the potential of being required to give extra money back because of the contract violation.

The trouble is, you insist on framing this in terms of the carpenter's rights.

It wasn't my analogy. I'm working with what you gave me.

disputing his rights.

Demanding he work for free is disputing his rights.

Demanding he work for free

Where is this happening?

You don't want him taking shortcuts with AI. He would need to spend more time working on rsync to make you happy.

He took shortcuts because he wants to spend time sailing his boat instead.

I say: Go sail your boat then.

He would need to spend more time working on rsync to make you happy.

This is called "putting words in my mouth" and it is the reason you're an asshole.

Rsync is his boat. It's his hobby. He patched the hole in the boat the way he wanted.
