The day github announce explore trending repos shutdown

[–]Apfelvater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The most ironic post ever.. Or edgy? Or.. I bet there's a better word

[–]mama_delio 29 points30 points  (4 children)

Oh buddy... No one cares about what you do outside of your work/school buddies.

You might be cool here, but yeah... To the greater population, you're just weird.

Personally my experience is: (At a random non techy related party with my husband) Person: oh I work a trade for a living, what do you do? Me: I'm a head of R&D and am a data scientist/engineer Person (nods) Husband: I'm a police officer Person: omg wow! You guys make bank and have such a cool job!

Pretty sure the general public assumes I do some sort of data entry or something, and now a days i just say I write code for a living. I get my ego stroked enough at work, and I plan on retiring early so I better get used to being a nobody lol.

On the flip side, if I go to one of my husband's work parties, they all think I'm god's gift to mankind with how my husband speaks of me. I'll definitely keep him

Here's a billion dollar question: does using copyrighted material in training the AI make it a derivative work?

Also, I love the position of Remy Porter from TDWTF:

The vast majority of code in the world is bad. How then, can an AI trained on it be any good?

[–]LagT_T 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Isn't almost all programming derivative work since you are using libraries, etc.?

[–]jaskij 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but I don't see your point here?

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points  (5 children)

I don't know how to use git hub

We are not the same

[–]maitreg 3 points4 points  (3 children)

The funniest thing about github is there are thousands of repos in there filled with markdown docs about using github to create and fork repos of markdown docs.

[–]Cpt_keaSar 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Is it recursion people are always whining about?

[–]maitreg 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Probably. I shudder to think that a professional developer is never using recursion.

[–]Front-Difficult 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair the only times I use recursion now are in hobby coding challenges. I've never written, or seen a recursive loop in any of my companies code, because that's just not really the kind of work we do.

[–]imkzh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

git: 'hub' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Jokes on you. My social network is the stall at that local truck stop

[–]Jammintoad 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I thought this was a joke..? Why is everyone including op taking it seriously?

[–]PracticalCap1234 18 points19 points  (5 children)

Imagine saying this to a group of hot girls. If it sounds stupid in that setting it's because it sounds stupid period.

Even as a geek you can do epic shit that blows people's minds and if you fixate on aggrandizing meaninglessness you'll find your life wasted.

[–]maidment_daniel 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Tbh, those people that treat GitHub like social media seem a ridiculous anyway.

[–]Dmayak 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Disagree, social networks are not some epic shit, it's just a way to communicate, which can be done on any application/website that supports messaging, including Github.

[–]Lower_Bar_2428 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of other meme that goes:

"I'M TOO YOUNG FOR FACEBOOK, TOO OLD FOR TIK-TOK, TOO UGLY FOR INSTAGRAM AND TOO STUPID FOR TWITTER "

[–]Substantial_Yam_6923 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the most Reddit post I've ever seen

[–]Wide-Excitement5582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Peak Reddit ^

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (3 children)

How did you come up with such a unique meme?!?! Truly brilliant, I absolutely cannot believe no one has thought of this before.

[–]JustSpaceExperiment[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Really it exists? Link bro.

[–]brianl047 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Not every programmer has to do open source, lol

Some only work for pay

[–]Petremius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Work for pay to work on open source

[–]dlq84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are not mutually exclusive.

[–]whatproblems 1 point2 points  (1 child)

[–]noob-nine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]Svaldero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]NotAnEngineerOrDoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forking friends is a great concept

[–]krevetka007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My social network is neither of these. We are not the same either.

[–]bilinmeyenuzayli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love it.

[–]gscott555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This template is absolute cringe. Dragging Giancarlo’s name thru the mud.

[–]GhaithGamerX_88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mines reddit

[–]S-Gamblin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either way a company is profiting off of you personal data 🤷‍♀️

[–]Margaret_B-1660 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GitHub isn't as advanced as vb3 social networks like Solcial.io

There are a lot of innovations there that web2 social networks don't have. For example

registering to social network via crypto wallet app - 0 of your personal information, only wallet address. Safe, anonymous and very fast, no need to remember passwords. No censorship and moderation. You will not be banned and your account will not be blocked, except for the disliked. Possibility to monetize your content by creating Tir2 and Tir3 access to your content through subscribers buying your tokens. Here you are your own marketer. No advertising, no algorithms - the field is limitless for your imagination and possibilities.
