It is impressive how much better claude is than copilot specifically for coding.

Like... how much bullshit is in Windows to learn off of, let alone github.

Literally should be literally studied, literally!

"if they're gonna steal, they should at least do it right" I mean, I can see how someone would want to think that, but I'm fine with them failing to steal.

I don't know the original author's opinions on AI, but I think it's still fair to say that it was clearly Copilot's goal to steal all the code and be good, and they had all the code, and so ethics aside one would expect them to have succeeded with flying colour at whatever their goals were, even if those were bad goals.

But they failed instead, which is impressive.

Fucking linux nerds (that was for someone I just met on here). Anyway, yea, my company got three licenses for it, biggest waste of budget ever. I dunno what they clamped on top of open AI, but it's just terrible. It can't even parse a spreadsheet correctly.

So what do we use now?

I just wrote a tiny bit of code, a cute little GLSL shader than generates some shapes in a Voxel modeling tool I like. Would love to share it. Most of the shaders I use were found on GitHub. I was going to use GitLab but then realized it was like a second life bar of the same GitBoss.

I have no idea where to host my little scripts now.

Codeberg or Sourcehut got you covered 🙂

Unless you want private repos and free CI, which are a pretty huge benefit of Github. I haven't personally seen any issues with Github despite all the moaning about uptime, and I use it a fair bit. I think it's going to take a lot more for them to become another SourceForge. Like, if they introduce banner ads for example.

And fail at the basic task of keeping GitHub running with 99% uptime in the meantime
