GitHub CEO delivers stark message to developers: Embrace AI or get out.
(www.businessinsider.com)
CEOs, dude. Some things never change.
Considering AI is just glorified autocomplete, this announcement is hardly a surprise.
Remember when Microsoft first bought it and not long after they decided that all code in the free repositories was fair game for autocomplete suggestions in Microsoft programs?
This is just the next logical step.
The next, next logical step will be stealing publicly accessible code from other repositories "by accident" if everyone leaves.
Not using github anyway
No u lol
... Ok!
I don't think he's wrong in some regards, but only in the 'AI looks somewhat promising in our future'. He didn't need to be condescending about it.
Essentially... Leave now, or contribute to training your replacement.
is there any script or tool out there that helps automate the mirroring of GH repos to Codeberg (or another forge)? I have 150+ repos, most are archived or outdated, but if I'm migrating I'd like to do with everything.
update:
Codeberg limits the number of repositories per user to 100 by default. If you have more than 100 repositories to migrate, you'll need to request a higher quota following their instructions.
bummer; I might need to host forgejo
