    Third one should be called “A Bot”

      100%

      My GitHub profile looked like that for a while when I was using my own PAT for a CI step that did repo syncing.

      Now a bot account gets all the credit. :(

    Needs one that’s like #4 from January to September, labelled: “Fuck Github and anything else owned my Microsoft”.

    Where’s “I get paid for my code and when I want to do something open source I make a new account and forget about it afterwards?”

      what’s the rationale of creating a new account? Just for using a pseudonym, or something else?

        I think the use case is simply separating your professional code from your personal code. I don’t need interviewers seeing my throwaway projects.

          Yup. Officially, last I checked, GitHub encouraged people to use a single account for everything. But I wish they’d at least let people create multiple “personas” on the same account, along the lines of “Notorious Open Source Hacker Alias” vs “Random Code Monkey On Corporate Gig”.

            For me, it’s contributing to open source projects that are for NSFW things, stashdb specifically.

      Are you the guy I’ve been trying to contact for months? Is this why the person with a single repo is never active?

      Having multiple accounts is against their TOS

      “One person or legal entity may maintain no more than one free Account (if you choose to control a machine account as well, that’s fine, but it can only be used for running a machine).”

      Which is absolutely stupid. I should be able to separate my work commits from my personal commits.

      That said in practice, I’m guessing this is only enforced if they detect you abusing their services.

        Work commit are not supposed to be made with a free account. This only says that you can’t have multiple free accounts.

    I’m number 4, but instead of looking for a job, the pattern is subject to my crippling depression. Most of the time I simply feel that it’s pointless to work on my projects, so I don’t :(

      I see the point in my projects yet I am frustrated and depressed by my perceived lack of progress.

      Want to start a project and procrastinate on it together?

          I’ve made up more names for new projects than what I have actually written code for. Yall looking for a product owner?

            Damn. I have the opposite problem. I make up ideas for projects that I may or may not build and can’t come up with a decent name.

            My last project that I actually build was an MQTT based smart planter for integration with homeassistant using an ESP32 MCU. My project name? ESPlanter…

      Wow. You’re like my polar opposite. Code is a sign of rising depression for me. When I start working on my projets, it’s time to worry because it means I’ve lost all taste for human interaction, or food, or… sleep.

      don’t post pictures of my face online, that’s rude >:(

      In all seriousness I wonder why I always realize I could have explained myself better/left something out/omg formatting error better fix it/holy shit typo after the initial commit, and have like 4 different ones (or a bunch of rebases in an effort to keep the repo clean of this crap) fixing it, instead of pushing just a correct and complete readme from the beginning.

      This is also why most of my Lemmy comments have edits. Not some weird sketchy crap editing things in to make others look bad or totally change my point after getting refuted, but just… oops typo or I could reword that to be more understandable or I meant to say this and totally forgot about it.

      Look at this amateur, using a mouse to commit. I have a macro defined just to commit and push as a background job so that I can start editing the README again ASAP.

      I commit far too little, and I don’t use branches so all my FEAT and FIX and DOC are mixed up, and I… Oh yeah I could just do add, and commit each of them separately… Damn.

        Or you could refrain from the dogmatic commit style that serves literally zero purpose because in any healthy software project nobody is ever reading the commit history like that.

          History and good explanations of what was changed and why is incredibly useful for being able to determine if something is a bug, a feature, and why something was written a particular way.

          I’m not super stringent on commit style, but it absolutely helps to structure commit messages, especially in larger projects where they’re being worked on piecemeal.

    #3 is my script that converts one particular RSS feed to .ical format, and pushes it to a repo, because setting up a website for one silly script was overkill.

            I assumed you guys just did hashtags like “#mondayblues” so on sync it showed up as titles because of the markup lmao

            Unless neither of you did that and I’m just going crazy, which is definitely possible

    The Weekender is also anyone working professionally. You can’t stick any of your real work on public github.
