    Oh, that’s the next excuse i’ll use when a recruiter asks for my github page. “i’m protecting my product”.

    ngl, I’m annoyed whenever someone creates an application but doesn’t want to publish their code cause it looks bad. Like no one cares that your code is bad and by publishing it, you can get others to help you improve it.

  • I’m not a professional dev. So I don’t care what anyone else thinks, it’s not gonna affect my job prospects. So I publish all my shit code for the world to see.

    User name checks out. I scrolled all the way down to make sure I can say this and still be original in this particular instance only.

      The best part of Lemmy is the low userbase in comparison means it’s easier to be original and not try and say the same thing a hundred times.

        Amen! There’s plenty of content to doomscroll through as well. I genuinely don’t miss Reddit as that part of my brain forgets it’s not Reddit. Hell, we should call Lemmy “I can’t believe it’s not Reddit” and hire Fabio to do a commercial.

      Get copilot to generate bad code in quantity, then upload that to GitHub so it slowly cannibalizes itself.

        I only post upload badly written reverse shells so that copilot just turns all code in a backdoor, take that NSA!

      Imagine Copilot using it to intentionally showcase terrible code.

    I don’t post my code to GitHub because I use GitLab. We are not the same

        I don’t post to Gitea because I scrawl my code onto a piece of leather made of human flesh and venture down to the shore on a stormy night to hurl it into a raging sea as I shriek insults at God in a language known only to madmen. We are not the same.

    The first rule about no Github club is that we don’t talk about no Github club

        Didn’t sourceforge go to shit some years back with ads, embedding bloatware into downloads, and I don’t remember what else? Did it get better again?

          It did, but the interface is still dogshit for new users and it’s impossible to know how to access a project’s page or its download page. When I started using GitHub, I didn’t even realize that SourceForge was a git hub for a fucking while, yet I was still downloading stuff from there.

    I post my code to GitHub so when I’m eventually good enough to get a job I can pretend I’m hardworking by having lots of commits in private repos.

    git commit -m “Added a new string to X class.”

      Someone did that at the company I used to work for. IIRC, no one noticed for months.
