I feel like this is completely avoidable bloat.

You could quite easily create this bloat in any language

Github is probably the biggest code hosting platform. There is literally no evidence that Microsoft will discontinue it… And they’ve spent a huge amount of time integrating it. It also generates 1 billion in revenue, so why would Microsoft sell it? Furthermore, its free for open source…

Self hosting is part of the reason our project failed… We wasted a lot of time with that stuff. We used Mercurial, whatever the Canonical one was, and git, and we wasted a lot of time.

Github works, and is well integrated to everything

So… just to repeat myself for the 300th time

This is a good example of why people use GitHub

Because it’s an advantage that it’s hosted by a large company like Microsoft. There’s very little chance it’s going to be shut down or sold off. So developers don’t need to worry about their infrastructure as much

One of our projects failed because we got caught up in infrastructure.

It’s funny though how the people who are the most vocal against GitHub aren’t responding to this post. But they’re happy to make the biggest deal about every little button on it…

Tired of these articles being reposted.

Redhat aren’t going anywhere. And they contribute a huge amount of public source code still anyway.

I don’t think people realise how much their own distros rely on Redhat developed projects…

Err… Those are bad examples.

Skype was bad before microsoft lol. If anything, Microsoft actually made it more usable… Skype was NEVER good lol

And very few people in the real world have an issue with Github. The evidence is that you’ll notice projects aren’t moving away from it, and Github is growing fast. I found there’s a small number of people making 99.99% of the noise (like the first main “enshiffication” post on Lemmy, which was mainly pointing towards comments made by a developer without many commits and as a open source project, they weren’t even paying for github). If you want a good example, Sourceforge would be a better one (although, it’s possible even they cleaned up their act)

Nobody would call VS Code bloated or anything. There are some things I don’t like, but i have tried so many IDE’s in the past 20 years, and can honestly say that VS Code survived because its hugely easier, and it’s actually a high quality product. Anyone who has tried stuff like Atom or Eclipse will attest to that (Eclipse was great at the time, but was painfully slow)

I did see a post about a rust one upcoming that did seem interesting, but its really just a slightly faster version of VS Code (and VS Code itself is no slouch).

But vscode hasn’t gone to shit…

Lots of things have also gotten popular without going to shit either.

What issues specifically?

It takes maybe 10 minutes to find good extensions and get them set up

What features do you personally think they should add?

To bring that figure up

You do realise you can’t just throw more features at the kernel right?

So… op complains about Microsoft’s interoperability standards, and then proceeds to post a list of apps which mostly use their own too 😂

There’s a lot of good software in there… but misleading caption…

People like Theo De Raadt might have had a fairly huge impact on killing BSD.

He might have alienated a lot of people from even considering bsd.

The Linux community also had a lot of help by vendors such as Suse and Redhat who had no problems implementing good ideas which were a bit toxic, but were available in windows. Commercial venders can make a massive difference (as well as government deployments).

The big problem has been people resistant to change

That’s the biggest issue

There are so many people in the community who attack developers.

I had a open source project which I started, it got a lot of media attention but I gave it up because so much of the community is toxic and just made me feel unsure about developing the idea further.

And lots of other developers are the same. Even with Lemmy, people weren’t going to contribute, but they targeted the developers political beliefs.

And I see so much crap talking on Lemmy here because developers choose to use GitHub or discord. If you don’t like that, contribute to the project, but don’t try to dictate the project you have no involvement in

I actually disagree. I feel it’s best to use for languages you’re good with, because it tends to introduce very subtle bugs which can be very difficult to debug, and code which looks accurate about isn’t. If you’re not totally familiar with the language, it can be even harder

My workmate literally used copilot to fix a mistake in our websocket implementation today.

It made one line of change… turned it it made the problem worse

I don’t think so. Maybe I’m missing something?

I just didn’t 20 hours so far on it

What I don’t like is that you need to finish the day for it to save

Also the wording about what happens to crops at the end of season should change

But otherwise, it’s something to do, but it is getting a bit click and pointy really. I wish you should pair up with characters more and walk around with then

I seriously didn’t realize this was meant to be a secret?

Trump still can’t say “China” without saying it in a really weird tone because he’s used to saying “China flu” with emphasis on China.

You can’t help but think that a big component of the depression/doom feeling a lot of the experienced at the time was indirectly related to things Trump did

Trog… I played that game for days

Here in Australia, you can literally file your tax now for free in a few clicks using the government website. If you wait a few weeks, everything for most people is prefilled except deductions

It’s absolutely awesome

Copilot or Tabnine are the two major ones.

They’re awesome for some things (especially error handling). But no… AI will not take over the world anytime soon

Nothing I bet. Didn’t read the article but I’d imagine compiling it would be a nightmare regardless
