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

32

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.

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?

3

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.

3

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

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 want to start moving stuff into Gitlab, but Github Actions is just too good. Is the CI/CD stuff in Gitlab comparable?

GitHub's actions are so good once it clicks and you understand them. On GitLab, you start from a docker image, so it's harder to setup some things but easier for others. If you are very good at docker and don't mind making your own images just for CI purposes, then go ahead.

Ideally, you should just try them both. You can mirror a project between the two and setup the CI at both places.

On GitLab, you start from a docker image, so it's harder to setup some things but easier for others. If you are very good at docker and don't mind making your own images just for CI purposes, then go ahead.

I think I'd probably consider myself at/near expert-level with Docker, but CI/CD runners instanced in containers just doesn't work for some of our workloads.

As an example, some of our projects have a bunch of Docker images that get built via their own Dockerfiles in the repo, are ran and discarded during the workflow, and each one is modifying the checked-out source tree in some fashion (NPM stuff, composer, whatever, etc), and then a final prod Docker image is built and tested from that source repo tree that has been modified by the Docker containers built/ran/discarded during the workflow. So in Gitlab, it sounds like we'd be running Docker in Docker for some projects.

You ever ran Docker in Docker? It's temperamental at the very best and there are a thousand gotchas associated with it, not to mention having to worry about how many variable scopes deep you are and keeping track of that, how to properly bind mount volumes into the nested Docker containers because the method and paths will vary depending on how nested you are, etc. It's just an absolute nightmare to deal with all-around in that context.

I'll see if we have some projects I can try out on it, but the majority of ours are like what I described above.

Ive never used githubs CI/CD, but gitlab has quite a large ecosystem for its CI/CD.
Seems to me like you could use gitlab as a one-stop-shop to host everything from your code to your artifacts and containers, if you are willing to pay for those fancy features

Free is able to just do basic CI/CD for like 250 minutes a month, or unlimited via your own runners/build servers, thats about it

You can also use GitHub as a mirror to make your project more discoverable

I don't post code to GitHub because I get paid to code, and I'm too lazy to do more.

And my code probably sucks.

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.

Post it if it provides functions not found anywhere else. I can't give less fuck to code quality if it does the work for that absurd user requirement for me.

I'd bet that AI still gets to appropriate it as its "own" creation.

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."

Yep, this is why I run forgejo internally and have zero intention of exposing it to the public.
