Here and there are posts about tailwind losing its revenue stream. And then people / post authors conclude open source is lost and spread FUD.
Do you think your projects die because of LLMs?
I only have public hobby projects, I am not afraid. I also try to donate to a lot of free software that I use or like.
E.g. this https://programming.dev/post/43810907 or https://programming.dev/post/45292081
It burns you out pretty quick. I have a popular library and had to turn off gh issues. So many llm/fake bug reports. Huge waste of time and effort. Github has gone downhill.
CodeBerg is really nice, has a free tier, and has guided tutorials for migration.
I moved my work out of spite for GitHub’s warmongering parent company.
And then I was pleasantly surprised by how nice CodeBerg is.
CodeBerg sounds great but this doesn’t seem like a longterm solution. If CodeBerg ends up getting really big then it will get overrun with slop as well. We need to find a way to cut the slop problem off at its source, but I have no idea how that could actually work.
Agreed. Stopping giving money to Microsoft seems like a place to start.
Plus, probably filters out low value contributions. People on Codeberg are generally genuinely interested in a project and not chasing activity graphs/clout/CV padding.
