I would agree if they weren't so clearly deserved. Calling shit out as being shit is fine.
Just because you think something is shit does not mean it becomes gospel for the rest of us. Millions of other people are fine with GitHub, respect their choice.

I've seen this in other places as well. The bottleneck is not coding or creating a PR, the bottleneck is the review.
This ought to be automated using AI. It could first judge whether the PR is frivolous, then try to review it, then flag a human if necessary. The problem is that Github, or whatever system hosts the process, should actively prevent projects from being DDOS-ed with PR reviews since using AI costs real money.
When the world is telling you to fucking stop, maybe take a moment and listen.
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…
> You're running what aims to be a major programming language - have it where people expect and live with your gripes about the platform. The core types who will make use of, contribute to, and/or otherwise use the repo likely don't need it to be on GitHub. Having it "where people expect" is useful for drive-by contributions but Zig doesn't really need that. Furthermore, why should we as a larger community cede thing…
I'm happy to see the move. Codeberg is probably a more stable/long-term solution than SourceHut as the founder is slightly unhinged (but love what he has built). Honestly, either would have been great choices. More opensource projects should move off GitHub. I moved off it myself.
- GitHub
- BinCode
- GitLab
- SourceHut
- CodeBerg
Damn - Codeberg is snappy! It's as fast as Github used to be 10 years ago. Server rendered pages. No AJAX-style slow updates. Love it.
This was the very first thing I noticed when we (the Zig team) started seriously trialing Codeberg. Honestly, the transition was worth it just for the ability to navigate the website without a 3-5 second wait every time I click a link.

oh god... he has a humongous AI generated PR for julia too https://github.com/tshort/StaticCompiler.jl/pull/180
I don't know whether to be worried or impressed.

I mean this with all sincerity, try doing this yourself. The established projects are resistant to YOLOing their projects and running them on complete LLM autopilot. You are proposing a completely different development style. Fork Ocaml to Oca-LLM and Julia to Jul-AI and see how it goes.
I do think this is where we are heading, though.
No, existing open source projects are not ready for this and likely won't ever be.
It will start in the corporate world and maybe already has.

If you have technical issues with Github, fine: cite them. But leave ad ho…
It's a pity that the GitHub repository is not mirrored, probably making downstreams broken. Good move anyway.

I'm not trying to say that this is now projects ought to work right now. I do think this is where we are heading, though. No, existing open source projects are not ready for this and likely won't ever be. It will start in the corporate world and maybe already has.

which is it?
