Oct 6, 2023 at 10:13 comment added jcaron I don't understand, you said the professor in not one of the authors. Shouldn't it be for the student who published to request the change from the journal? Have you contacted them? Or is what you need from the professor that they put pressure on that student?
Oct 6, 2023 at 9:48 comment added Carl Christian You should listen to the people who know the professor well. In your position I would consider uploading the code that I have written to my personal github along with the entire revision history going back to when you began developing the code. I am assuming that the professor only received the final product. I would develop good documentation of the code using a tool such as doxygen. Then you can point the software as a well documented quality product that you have written from scratch and you can cite the paper as project that made good use of your software.

Oct 5, 2023 at 13:29 comment added Mike As much as I hate to say it, if there is a real prospect of getting a positive rec letter, I think the tradeoff may indeed favor listening to those who advise you not to "poke the bear". Obviously the prof should issue a correction and should still give you a good rec letter, but don't delude yourself that you can magically stop "arseholes" like this just by refusing to "pussy-foot around" them; it could very well make him a bigger arsehole and leave you without anything at all to show for it.
Oct 4, 2023 at 23:33 comment added olivarb @ScottishTapWater - While I like this idea, I think it may be detrimental long term. Other people who know him for longer than I recommended not to poke the bear. Given his previous behavior, it is not hard for me to imagine a situation where I apply to a PhD program/some academic role in a year or so and ask him for a rec letter given my work in his lab, at which point he writes a poorer rec letter (or even if he hears that I applied somehow and emails the relevant department). His word carries a lot more weight in the community and I worry about long term ramifications of antagonizing him.
Oct 4, 2023 at 14:53 comment added ScottishTapWater Ignore those who say don't poke the bear. You have earned the right to be credited as the author and have the evidence to prove it. If that bruises this prof's ego, so what? Too many people pussy-foot around arseholes so they continue being arseholes.

Oct 4, 2023 at 7:06 comment added olivarb @Sursula - No, nowhere in the paper or any related works. The github has code that I authored and sent to the prof, who pushed it (although I think without malice - github is not an attribution source normally) so my name doesn't even appear there
