I'm excited to see this migration happen, mostly because it signals to us ( https://tangled.org ) that large projects are willing to switch! We're working pretty hard to get Tangled out of alpha—we want it to be the place for free software communities. Also recently wrote about our vision and commitment to indies and communities (and never enterprise!): https://anirudh.fi/future

I feel like the distinction is equivalent to LLMs can make mistakes. Humans can't. Humans can and do make mistakes all the time. LLMs can automate most of the boring stuff, including unit tests with 100% coverage. They can cover edge cases you ask them to and they can even come up with edge cases you may not have thought about. This leaves you to do the review. I think think the underlying problem people have is they…

They can cover edge cases you ask them to and they can even come up with edge cases you may not have thought about. This leaves you to do the review. in my experience these tests don't test anything useful you may you have 100% test coverage, but it's almost entirely useless but not testing the actual desired behaviour of the syste…
Brittle meaningless tests tend to lock bad decisions in, and prevent meaningful refactoring.
Bad tests simply are code debt, and dramatically increase the future cost of rework and adaptation.

US has a special definition for what constitutes "left" that doesn't apply outside. Compared to European leftists, US leftists are center-right.
Charlie Kirk was shot by a center-right guy on September 10, 2025? Luigi Mangione shot the UnitedHealthcare CEO December 4, 2024 and had an anti-capitalist manifesto, was he center right? What about Elias Rodriguez (leftist activist, Israeli Embassy Staff Shooting)? Michael Reinoehl (antifa) who shot Aaron Danielson? "No Kings" Vance Boelter who shot two politicians? "Anti-ICE" Joshua Jahn who killed two detainees an…

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.
CoCs are useful at least for autists. They don’t have to be unique for every project. A good CoC for most projects is: “tl;dr: don’t act rude or illegal”, followed by a detailed explanation of what is rude or illegal, ending with “project maintainers have final discretion”.
You call the GitHub folks “monkeys” and “rookies” and at the end you “humbly” ask people to donate off? That is pretty depressing to see. I used to look up to the Zig folks…

But the post isn't talking about Microsoft, it's specifically calling the people that work on GitHub monkeys.
You should also consider the point of view of anyone working on github and being paid by microsoft but who actually does care. Note that they are not named and shamed or anything like that. Do you think there is a chance these hypothetical engineers who care actually want this kind of thing said publicly? And said as poetically invictive laden as possible? The rationale being that they might use such sentiment to get…
That would be easily 90% of GitHub.

Then blast the product, not the people who built it.
You cannot divorce a product from the people who built it. The product reflects their priorities and internal group well-being. A different group of people would have built a different product.

The product isn't some result of a series of "oopsies". The worst aspects of bad and/or user-hostile software products are that way because the people working at these companies want them to be that way. Unless you want to call them just that incompetent. I assume they'd complain about that label too. In short: No it's not "the product", the people building it are the problem. Somehow everyone working in big tech wan…
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"…
The best free CI system in the world has macOS 15 runners running at 75% capacity due to a background process that consumes 100% CPU [1]. The problem is known to them since May but not fixed half a year later. [1] https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/13358
