  • Not me. I don’t use it because it’s (mostly) immoral. Sure, it feels like a thorn in the side, a parasite oozing through the walls, but I still enjoy coding.

    I also have good reason to believe that nothing resembling modern technology will understand what it’s doing, so we always have that most important edge.









  • This is not a good article

    A lot of people seem to be realizing that knowledge work is mostly pointless

    From wikipedia

    Examples of such professionals include ICT professionals, physicians, pharmacists, architects, engineers, mathematicians, scientists, designers, public accountants, lawyers, librarians, archivists, editors, and academics

    Are they genuinely claiming all most of this work is pointless?

    The article continues

    What’s different about this moment is that the questions are not just economic but existential, the kind of questions that cause high-earning technical professionals to contemplate throwing it all away to start a goat farm in Washington or become a surf instructor in Costa Rica.

    I’m sure I’d seen memes about software engineers wanting become woodworkers before the AI deluge.

    The writing continues with needlessly crass language. I stopped reading.



  • codeberg’s fine, but it’s not decentralized. It’s a single org running a forgejo instance somewhere in europe. It also banned AI generated code and crypto projects. If you’re not doing either of those, codeberg is possibly the easiest way to get off github.

    If you really want decentralized, you can look at radicle. Or you can self-host but that would be unwise if you’re new to it all.
