For great justice
GitHub, more like QuitHub, amirite?
More like, GetOuttaThereHub, huh? huH?
More like: GitouttaHere
Ugggh I’ve been wanting to migrate for months. RIP GitHub.
Microsoft has gone all-in on AI to the detriment of basically every other aspect of their business. They are in deep deep shit when the bubble finally pops.
Azure might keep them afloat but everything else will likely crumble and they’ll have to downsize to mostly just being a cloud provider.
Don’t worry, they have like 250 ERPs too. And they’re way more expensive than, say, Odoo, though I guess not as expensive as SAP.
Gods I wish for this.
Completely gave up on the console wars thing too for AI. Such ridiculous leadership by Sadya
Fingers crossed 🤞
And I am so ready for the bubble to burst.
15% of the total United States GDP is a single company. I struggle to comprehend the scale of that, but one thing is for certain; it’s going to bite us in the ass eventually.
Stock valuation of a company is not calculated int the GDP. Only domestic revenue is. There is no company that makes trillions in revenue.
It’s not one company, but the top 5 companies make up 40% of South Korea’s economy, with the top 30 76.9% of their GDP. It’s scary to imagine the power they wield over the peoples lives.
Power over their lives? Nonsense, the people of S
amsungouth Korea are completely free to use iPhones instead of Samsung phones if they want! They can also leave their Samsung apartments to work at the Samsung office, built by the Samsung construction company using Samsung heavy machinery, any time they want! If they were to get injured on the way, they’ll get treated at Samsung Medical Center and not to worry, of course their Samsung insurance will cover it.
15% of the total United States GDP is a single company
no, it is not. you struggle to comprehend it because it is not true.
it is comparing different things. one is a valuation, the other is the value of goods and services over a year. the comparision would be with yearly revenue of a company
Thanks for the clarification.
15% of American GDP is approximately $4.57 trillion.
Absurd, isn’t it?
dont worry govt bailouts with public money will come in. Socialism for the rich and capitalism for the poor.
It’s not socialism, it’s welfare.
only if you consider companies as people.
That’s the same with socialism, though.
Welfare? For billion dollar companies? That’s rich.
The original blog post is rather frank and to the point. Wish the engineering leadership I worked with communicated this well.
In the end, we opted for a simple strategy, sidestepping GitHub’s aggressive vendor lock-in: leave the existing issues open and unmigrated, but start counting issues at 30000 on Codeberg so that all issue numbers remain unambiguous. Let us please consider the GitHub issues that remain open as metaphorically “copy-on-write”.
Do you know anything about the referenced vendor lock-in?
Basically all the stuff that is build by GitHub and not part of git. Like the pull request discussion boards that is not stored in the git repository. They can’t transfer that out of GitHub to another git host.
It’s just that all your shit and users are there, like issue tracking in this case.
The fucking lunacy of the AI bros he lists as examples…
Codeberg doesn’t need billions of users… Just the right ones.
Keep joining Codeberg!
I’ve been enjoying zig.
It feels like when I go to write C, but without a bunch of code churn/copy paste on getting just the right memory management interface.
It’s not perfect, and the API churn makes it really annoying to find decent documentation. But it’s fun.
Don’t see why this even needs to be news.
Zig is just mid anyway as a programming language, partly because its just a new masturbatory Lang for C people and partly because of Andrew’s poor, shepherding of the project.
I don’t think Andrew is notable enough to bother having a full article about the things he does.
You sound like you know what you’re talking about. I would love to try the programming language you created. Can you share it?
Careful. You might burn yourself on that take.
