        If you want to get a programming job, you want a good looking CV. By contributing to prominent open source projects on github, github’s popularity and fancy profile system makes it look real good on a CV.

        Github is a magnet for lazy vibe coders spamming their shit everywhere to farm their CVs. On other git hosts without such a fancy profile systems, there’s less on an incentive to do so. Slop to good code ratio should be lower and more managable.

        No but they are actively not promoting it or encouraging it. Github and MS are. If you’re going to keep staying on the pro-AI site, you’re going to eat the consequences of that. Github are actively encouraging these submissions with profile badges and other obnoxious crap. Its not an appropriate env for development anymore. Its gamified AI crap.

        No (just like Lemmy isn’t immune against AI comments) but Github is actively working towards AI slop
