why, GitHub

Got logged out of github for some reason, and the entire top bar turns into some lunatic marketing nightmare from a parallel universe. This is easily the sanest submenu.

the "Why, github?" made me lol, thank you.

That menu is kind of insane though, especially how the useful stuff was clearly moved so you would click on the new stuff by accident.

one of the many reasons I switched to codeberg and my own forgejo instance.

Github is garbage. if you can, get off it.

Looking at the company I work for: moving from a selfhosted GitLab instance to go all in on GitHub

:(

My employer is moving from a self hosted enterprise GitHub to Microsoft hosted GitHub. It’s the worst honestly and I don’t get the justification.

I love Github Copilot. It fixes all of my spell errors in comments. Totally worth billions of dollars

codeberg has the stuff in green but none of the stuff in red :)

Why are you including codespaces in there??? That's a feature I wish more open-source projects made use of. Pristine working dev environments, on demand? Yes please

theOneTrueSpoon@feddit.uk · 6 pts · 255d

Yeah, I was thinking that sounds pretty handy actually

https://github.com/gitpod-io

This was the best project I was following in the space

PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 254d (1 reply)

Eclipse che was, afaict, the first to really make major progress in this space.

Vscode and codespaces basically stole the whole thing... But then they actually provided it in a way that was easy to use.

So while I don't like the theft, I think that the result is great, and I don't like that OP lists it as something nobody wants.

fruitycoder@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 254d

Right! Tbh I saw their work after playing with git pods on a project that utilized it. By that point though the git pods project had made significant progress IMHO from the fork of Eclipse

Well, since intelligence is artificial, why not demand?

GitHub Advanced Security seems useful. AI has successfully found security vulnerabilities that would've otherwise gone undetected, and as a rule of thumb all security vulnerabilities need to be found and patched.

barubary@infosec.exchange · 11 pts · 256d (6 replies)

"AI" has also successfully found security vulnerabilities that don't exist.

Tenderizer78@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 256d (4 replies)

Better a false positive than false negative, as long as people aren't submitting AI generated bug bounty reports to projects and hiding the fact they're AI.

My point was that those kinds of reports are useless, this kind of feature is only useful if experienced devs voluntarily use it.

I take it you're not the one triaging the subsequent slop. I am.

Tenderizer78@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 253d

That's because the feature is being abused by others.

but you can check them off as work done for managers that don't understand it. lol
