So much vague outrage over nothing. That CI system created by so called monkeys is the one of the best free CI service in the world. Not everyone has the millions of dollars like Zig Foundation to create their own CI servers. After that they appreciate GitHub Sponsors, but say it is now a complete liability just because a project leader left. What are the actual changes? Any new rule? But no, it is now a "liability"…

Anyone who has ever used Gitlab, or dare my foul mouth say Jenkins, has experienced a better system than Github actions.

Unless it's miraculously improved recently as it's been a couple years for me, they didn't even document their regex/pattern matching. Best I could find via searching was that it was whatever Ruby used, which wasn't any kind of real standard.

I don't want to call anyone names, but whoever defends said system deserves some ribbing.

Microsoft is actually just a group of people as well.

All companies are 'a group of people'. But that's not how you treat them. You should treat the individual employees of microsoft as the people they are. You should treat microsoft as a whole as the evil entity it is (TBF they're not worse than apple or google or etc...)

But the post isn't talking about Microsoft, it's specifically calling the people that work on GitHub monkeys.

Very questionable decision. You're running what aims to be a major programming language - have it where people expect and live with your gripes about the platform. In retail you set up your store in the biggest mall with the most customers walking past - sure you can go set up in some back alley but don't expect customers to come to your store. This remains true even if the mall owns forget to mop the floor. This fee…

It's just a public git repository and issue tracker, not a frigging "store front". People don't "discover" Zig because its source repository being hosted on Github vs some other random URL (and creating a bug report or PR appears to work exactly like on GH anyways: https://codeberg.org/ziglang/zig).

What's unsustainable about it?

I'm not sure if this is advanced trolling at this point.

This is redefining the cutting edge of trolling.

Which is exactly why to cut it out. If you put salt in my cup of tea, I’m gonna notice and it’s gonna ruin the drink.

Microsoft poured salt into your cup years ago, you just did not notice.

If you put more salt into this rather thinly-stretched metaphorical cup when telling me what Microsoft did you are not going to endear yourself to me. Why muddy your message?

I’ll take that vs no open source software contributors. Elitism is far from the worst character trait unpaid code janitors can be expected to have.

not the dichotomy we're actually talking about here...

What is?

Looking at these comments, it's painfully apparent how many think that being polite in your communication is more important than actually doing something. I agree it would have been nicer if the message was more polite. But if you compare that to having the backbone follow through with meaningful long-term changes against a corporation you don't trust or respect, there shouldn't even be a discussion. And don't even g…

This. The round & slimy language is what big corps do. I don't like how this post is written – but what really matters here is that they are doing a good job moving away from GitHub. I hope more OSS does this.
