I see many repos moving to codeberg or other gits and many posts recommending to do so. Why is that? I’ve been a bit out of the loop

    They do offer their “Copilot Workspaces”, where you can basically tell a chatbot to make changes to a GitHub repo and directly open a pull request, without having to check out the repo or install the language tooling.
    This might sound good, but we’re talking you get PRs which don’t even compile. Where you spend more time sighting the PR for malicious code before you send it off to CI/CD than they did copy-pasting the issue text into a chatbox.

    And I would attribute it to individual stupidity, if this wasn’t exactly how Microsoft’s ad video presents it. You’ll inevitably get young coders who believe it, because the magical chatbot is really good at solving their homework.
