Random AI slop code pushers don't pay the bills. Traffic isn't revenue.
I've started suggesting to my CTO that we move to something else because we do pay the Github bills and yet we are also affected by other people's activity. Avoiding that is not a hard engineering problem for an alternative.
A world where a record amount of code is pushed to GH but a large amount of paying customers leave would be "cooked"
- olyjohn 21d agoYeah I don't feel bad for Microsoft, but I don't feel bad for people who keep paying them for it either. This has been going on forever now. Nothing will happen until people start leaving. I don't honestly understand why so much shit is on GitHub when there are so many alternatives, anyways. It's fucking git! Can't people do or try anything different, ever?
- pocksuppet 21d agoPeople are on GitHub because it's the cool thing to do, and there is no concept of anything else that could matter.
- angry_octet 20d agoIt is quite possible for github load balancers to route paying customers to different queues/infrastructure. I think much of the bot activity is paying customers, they just don't have per-client QoS because that would be hard. And they don't have separate auth for bots so they can't queue them separately.
