If you have technical issues with Github, fine: cite them. But leave ad ho…

This writing made me curious enough to click the provided citation though, and I'd have to say "monkeys" is really being kind if we take into account the combination of code quality issues, lack of surrounding process, and _what_ these code quality issues are affecting (the criticalness of the path).

>Let us please consider the GitHub issues that remain open as metaphorically “copy-on-write”. Please leave all your existing GitHub issues and pull requests alone. No need to move your stuff over to Codeberg unless you need to make edits, additional comments, or rebase. We’re still going to look at the already open pull requests and issues; don’t worry.

No way for those to be moved too or not worth the effort? Unless misremembering, another project that moved forges (to GitLab?) had somehow done it.

I have no connection to Microsoft but I think this take is terrible. Part of maturing and growing up, for me, was realizing that there are really very few people who truly deserve scorn and disrespect[1]. Those I disagree with politically, mostly think they’re doing the right thing and they think that if people only understood, they’d change their tune (and that’s basically what I think of them). Those “big companies…

What would you say about people who knowingly do actions that will lead to widespread harm and future deaths even though they're killing no one directly? Murdering can be done very well without ever having to touch weapon.

Are we talking about scientists here too or just those who give orders?

Pretty much anything can be used as a weapon and many things can be used for widespread harm.

What if you are working on something that can be used both ways? Spread good and death?

Not everyone is that robust. People get hurt over things like that. Not everyone is a wizard who does not give a fuck and does not need to care. These are people for God's sake. Empathy!

If people get hurt over that they need to take some courses on building confidence...

People indeed need a thicker skin

It wasn't their stated goal, if you read linked article. The commenter got it wrong.

Enlighten me, they specifically mention ICE as a reason they wanted to switch from GitHub?

They mention it in passing before continuing with technical issues.

They don't state it as the only reason as you imply, but as something that contributed to their decision.

oh god... he has a humongous AI generated PR for julia too https://github.com/tshort/StaticCompiler.jl/pull/180

I had $1000 in Claude credits and went to town. Yes, I made mistakes along the way.

The biggest mistake, AI or not, is dropping a 10K+ PR. 300~500 LOC is how far one should be going, unless they're doing some automated refactoring. E.g. formatting the entire StaticCompiler.jl source. This should've been a distinct PR, preferably by a maintainer.

Amusingly, this post violates Zig's own code of conduct: https://ziglang.org/code-of-conduct > Examples of behavior that contribute to creating a positive environment include: > - Using welcoming and inclusive language. > - Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences. > - Showing empathy towards others. > - Showing appreciation for others’ work.

Codes of conduct are perfunctory virtue signalling. Do we really need a unique set of "rules" posted on every project? They all sound like they were written by the same AI bot. That said, it's telling that the Zig leader can't even follow them. The rules should just be taken down.

Oh my code of conduct allows using profanities but not directing them at people :D
