I post my terrible code to github so I can sabotage copilot

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 32 points 1 year ago

Get copilot to generate bad code in quantity, then upload that to GitHub so it slowly cannibalizes itself.

[-] ox0r@jlai.lu 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I only post upload badly written reverse shells so that copilot just turns all code in a backdoor, take that NSA!

[-] kamen@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Imagine Copilot using it to intentionally showcase terrible code.

I got one star on my repo so i immediately privated it

Shit that's brutal

[-] darcy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

me when i accidently star my own repo

[-] Gecko@lemmy.world 32 points 1 year ago

ngl, I'm annoyed whenever someone creates an application but doesn't want to publish their code cause it looks bad. Like no one cares that your code is bad and by publishing it, you can get others to help you improve it.

I think you convinced me to actually do it

"I don't post my code to GitHub because it's a proprietary platform owned by Microsoft and the antithesis to open source. We are not the same."

They are probably scraping it to train AI anyway. Not doing that for free.

[-] MyNameIsRichard@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago

Maybe we should all host our shitty code on github and make the ai psychotic!

[-] dandroid@dandroid.app 7 points 1 year ago

Oh don't worry. My shitty code is on GitHub.

i post my code to github so ppl will fix it for me because im just a artist

[-] cipherlab@lemmy.ml 20 points 1 year ago

I don't post code to GitHub because I get paid to code, and I'm too lazy to do more.

And my code probably sucks.

[-] maxbossing@feddit.de 18 points 1 year ago

You don’t passt your code because you’re embarrassed by it.

I don’t post my code to github because i don’t use proprietary garbage.

We are not the same.

[-] Dirk@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 year ago

You don't post your code to GitHub because you don't use proprietary garbage.

I don't post my code to GitHub because I selfhost my own Forgejo instance.

We are not the same.

[-] Afghaniscran@feddit.uk 30 points 1 year ago

You don't post you code to GitHub because you self host you something or other

I don't post any code to GitHub cos I don't code and I'm not really sure what's going on

Are we the same? Idk

[-] MeetInPotatoes@lemmy.ml 17 points 1 year ago

User name checks out. I scrolled all the way down to make sure I can say this and still be original in this particular instance only.

[-] PretentiousDouche@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 year ago

The best part of Lemmy is the low userbase in comparison means it's easier to be original and not try and say the same thing a hundred times.

[-] MeetInPotatoes@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Amen! There's plenty of content to doomscroll through as well. I genuinely don't miss Reddit as that part of my brain forgets it's not Reddit. Hell, we should call Lemmy "I can't believe it's not Reddit" and hire Fabio to do a commercial.

[-] scottmeme@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago

I don't post my code to GitHub because I use GitLab. We are not the same

[-] TechieDamien@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

I don't post to GitLab because I use Gitea. We are not the same.

[-] rmuk@feddit.uk 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I don't post to Gitea because I scrawl my code onto a piece of leather made of human flesh and venture down to the shore on a stormy night to hurl it into a raging sea as I shriek insults at God in a language known only to madmen. We are not the same.

[-] dmrzl@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

Oh, you are the guy from the neighboring beach. We should consider synchronizing our sacrifice.

I'm not a professional dev. So I don't care what anyone else thinks, it's not gonna affect my job prospects. So I publish all my shit code for the world to see.

[-] forgotmylastusername@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago

I make throwaway accounts. Push code. Disappear forever. Come to find out nobody ever looks at it anyways.

[-] narc0tic_bird@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

Many people here seem to have very strong opinions about GitHub :D

[-] Worthstream@lemmy.one 8 points 1 year ago

Oh, that's the next excuse i'll use when a recruiter asks for my github page. "i'm protecting my product".

GitHub has private repositories for both of you.

[-] MaxPower@feddit.de 12 points 1 year ago

I'd bet that AI still gets to appropriate it as its "own" creation.

[-] azvasKvklenko@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

Most companies are both

[-] M1st3rM@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 year ago

Any good alternatives for GitHub you can recommend?

[-] maxbossing@feddit.de 12 points 1 year ago

Codeberg, Forgejo, Gittea, Gitlab,

gitlab, self-hosted gitea instance, codeberg

[-] lowleveldata@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

Post it if it provides functions not found anywhere else. I can't give less fuck to code quality if it does the work for that absurd user requirement for me.

[-] roi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago

I post to GitHub because I am GitHub
