Bye bye Github

Well any link to my Github account from this blog is now broke. After years of steady decline and selling it's soul to the devil. I have decided I don't want to be a member of Github any longer.

There was a time when Github offered an excellent product. It had a great UI and was easy to use (It now has an awful and slow UI). Back then it felt like Github as a company that cared about software and software engineers. Today Github is a leech that feeds your code into LLMs owned by it's Parent company MicroSlop in an attempt to rid the world of humans writing code.

With this in mind I deleted my account. I won't be feeding that beast any longer.

This is all a shame really, as many open source projects are still hosted on Github. I hope that they will decide to migrate soon, and that they are not duped by any attempts the corporates make to "increase trust".

Today you can find me on the European hosted Codeberg. You should join me there, it has a super fast UI and is a genuinely good product.

Until next time,

- Brian
