aehardingWhy aren’t people moving away from Github?
I write open source software because it’s fun, and I publish on Github because it gives me a stronger professional profile.
So yeah for me it’s the potential difference between putting food on the table or not. Github stars suck for many reasons but they do help you stand out.
I recognise your name, but not sure from where… It for sure isn’t github BTW, because I don’t use it, but it does look familiar.
Anyway, if you happen to be known due to something you wrote, that’s great but would your popular project be used less if it weren’t on github, even as a mirror?
And do you believe having a public github profile when you started out (/ whatever project(s) you’re known for weren’t popular) made the difference in your hiring procedure? Did you ask? And if it did, would it have made a difference had you linked to a repo on codeberg or Gitlab?
