This sounds to me like naivete. Even if ideas were all publicly available on blog posts, there are existing competitors, and your project is open source, creating a copy of what you worked on as an intern is certainly in poor taste.

According to him, he didn't:
> "I worked for Replit in Summer 2019, where I was asked to rebuild Replit's package management stack and make it open-source."
I made a similar comment below. I'm surprised at the anger towards repl.it on this thread.
The anger is not directed at replit but at its CEO. The company's negative reaction is understandable, lawyering up in response to some freshly graduated intern that obviously had not intended any harm - not cool. They could talk much softer and the result would be the same. That CEO dude gives an asshole vibe - people react :shrug:
