Funny, people used to say the same about Golang. Turns out, sometimes shedding "functionality" is really shedding cruft that holds the core functionality back. Is this the case for Codeberg vs. Github? I don't know, and I&#x2

Absolutely true, but there is a silver lining: When people rewriting open source libs with a bot then come crying to maintainers that their rewrites have bugs, and they would like for someone to fix said bugs for free, there is absolutely n
