Yeah, it's a pretty versatile phrase that's hard to explain. But it does often have a connotation of childishness or naivety, even when used sincerely.
It is often used an expression of thanks or appreciation, but I associate that more with an elder speaking to someone younger.
Most of the time, it is an genuine expression of true empathy, but it's not uncommon to be used as a passive aggressive expression of false empathy. It's that childish connotation that give it the extra bite when used passive aggressively.
And that plausible deniability, where the phrase is used in a genuine context often enough that sometimes you can't tell that someone is throwing shade, is very much a reflection of southern culture.

Defining BE integer data types seems like a bad approach.
I wouldn't want to maintain those types. The maintainer would either have to implement all of the arithmetic operations or assume that your users would try to hack their way to arithmetic. But really, you shouldn't ever do arithmetic with non-native endianness anyway.
Instead, define all your interfaces to work with native endianness integers and just do byte swapping at the serialization boundaries.
There are definitely some warning signs that OP could be a bot:
- They "no longer use Github" but their Github account was only created on March 1st.
- Their blog domain was registered on March 1st according to whois.
- They have sixteen (!!) blog posts dated March 10th.
- This is the kind of project you could vibe code: "read the ffmpeg manual and convert all of its flags into a TUI." No shade on the value of the project, just that it's a good one for LLMs.
I really like what I've read about AGit as a slightly improved version of the Gerrit workflow. In particular, I like that you can just use a self-defined session ID rather than relying on a commit hook to generate a Gerrit ChangeId. I would love to see Gerrit support this session token in place of ChangeIds.
The claim that malware "makes a ton of money" for Apple definitely needs a citation. I certainly don't believe it.
Obviously, Apple understands that the reputational damage from malware is more costly than any cut they might get from the miniscule sales of it. Apple might be evil (for some definition of "evil"), but they're not dumb.
Occam's Razor and Halon's Razor are aligned here. Apple would prefer this app not exist, but somehow it slipped through the review.
