We will see corporate douche.

CEOs, embrace torches and pitchforks.

Copilot is shit.

Bro you are literally not necessary, not even the best at what you do. See everyone on codeberg.

This part really stuck out for me:

This is the latest example of a strange marketing strategy by AI companies. Instead of selling products based on helpful features and letting users decide, executives often deploy scare tactics that essentially warn people they will become obsolete if they don't get on the AI bandwagon.

If hype doesn't work, try threats!

Move to Codeberg (esp. if you're European) - but please don't forget to donate something as well. If we don't pay for actual freedom, we won't be able to keep it.

Get out or what? GitHub?

I don’t understand this insistence that all developers must use AI.

If AI made a developer better, why insist, wouldn’t the vibe coders outcompete all others?

Wouldn’t they need non AI coders to train things?

Or is it because this snake oil pitch only works when everyone does it so no one notices it’s detrimental effects?

Already done. I moved everything to Codeberg a year or two ago. I strongly recommend it to anyone looking for safe, non-corporate, community-oriented version control. It’s also German and non-profit.

I don't get it. AI is a tool. My CEO didn't care about what tools I use, as long as I got the job done. Why do they suddenly think they have to force us to use a certain tool to get the job done? They are clueless, yet they think they know what we need.

GitHub is being pushy? Fucking GitHub?

Should we tell him git doesn’t actually need GitHub? That it existed just fine before it and will continue to exist after it?

Ima tell him…

Daily reminder that Codeberg is always the good alternative to corporate bastards like this idiot

While I don’t wish for this future, I do look forward to being one of the few that truly understands the ‘old way’ of computing like many here on Lemmy. All that knowledge I spent my youth acquiring may very well become insanely valuable in the next few decades because so many people will treat it as irrelevant.

I’ll feel a lot like this:

Funny thing to say after using their code to train the shitty-ass AI. Developers don't need AI, but AI certainly needs developers.

And now we understand why MSFT buying github a some years back was a really big deal actually, and not just some kind of mostly neutral, generic expansionary business move.

Would AI be better CEO's? They would cost a lot less and probably make better decisions. Just saying.

Moved from github to gitlab when it was acquired by Microsoft. Moved from gitlab to codeberg last month because I don't need a behemoth with dozens of services I never use to store my 3 shitty code files.

If those are my two options...start looking for my projects on Codeberg I guess.

Can this guy really be considered a CEO if GitHub is a fully owned subsidiary of Microsoft?

You know Microsoft, the company that is heavily invested in OpenAI and is spending hundreds of billions to try to make AI happen?

It's funny how so many people make big businesses and think they are the GOAT when in reality the true GOAT is Linus Torvalds.
