This appears to have prompted GitHub to warn on ambiguous Unicode characters in diffs like other source control programs (namely Gitea from the article) already do. Love it.
https://github.blog/changelog/2025-05-01-github-now-provides-a-warning-about-hidden-unicode-text/ since may 1st (OP is from may 16th)
Ah, I see. GitHub reached out to Daniel saying “hey we’re actually doing that” not because it was a reaction to the post.
It's possible their communication happened before that, and it just took a while to write and post OP post. 16 days is not that long or delayed. I haven't checked the dates of the commits in question though.
