Why aren’t people moving away from Github? There’s Codeberg, Gitlab, and radicle. What’s holding them back?

    The problem isn’t AI integration in code editors; the problem is people who let it think for you and blindly accept the results.

    It’s great for automating repetitive tasks and setting up frameworks but you’re bananas if you let it commit for you.

    It’s why if I have to use AI integration, I’ll specifically prompt it to give guidance and links to interesting articles on how do do things and have it teach me how to do things not just do dump all the code out already completed.

      Let’s deal with the mountain of AI slop garbage in the same way as what worked before:

      We need some kind of reputation system for open source contributors. If you push slop, I don’t want to see your PR. If you consistently make worthwhile contributions, I’ll check out your PR.
