Not a great leading indicator when the person in charge of the hostile product decision gets promoted to lead up the whole dev division, including GitHub. One of the worst parts of devrel is when management decides to ring the register and sell off the earned developer trust.

The recent open source moves by Microsoft are interesting. On one hand, I love the power of a vocal community; on the other, I hate to see community/devrel teams left to clean up after a bonehead decision from an executive who is clearly disconnected from the reality of the work.

GitHub isn't Open Source, and it's acquisition by Microsoft was not proof of their commitment to Open Source as a movement. There are other things that indicate a meaningful change in respect of the movement. ASOP is an "Open Source Project" in name and software license only.

So with the recent discovery that GitHub Actions create an OIDC identity per run, it's possible to configure Vault to allow auth w/ Actions identities and subsequently use that to get access to... anything. Some cleanup required but this is very promising! (c/o @grantorchard)

Ok I blogged about it. That's how excited I am. 1. Deploy this CFN template 2. Write this GHA workflow 3. Never worry about IAM users again awsteele.com/blog/2021/09/1…

It is... curious to see GitHub listed as a type of #OpenSource software in the State of Open UK Phase 2 report. Yes, git is OSS, but GitHub very much is not.

If your AI processes AGPL licensed source code and thereby incorporates it, is your AI code required to be released to the public? Roll 3d6 and hire that many lawyers.

In case it's not clear what's happening here: @github's Copilot "autocompletes" the fast inverse square root implementation from Quake III — which is GPL2+ code. It then autocompletes a BSD2 license comment (with the wrong copyright holder). This is fine.

I don't want to say anything but that's not the right license Mr Copilot.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Copilot, is in fact, GNU/Copilot, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU code trained Copilot. Copilot is not an AI system unto itself, but rather a proprietary component that launders GNU code

"Once, GitHub Copilot suggested starting an empty file with something it had even seen more than a whopping 700,000 different times during training -- that was the GNU General Public License." docs.github.com/en/github/copi…

Last Copilot hot take. MS/Github have used their dominant market position as the largest source of public code in the world to build a closed proprietary service, without the explicit consent of their customers.

Ant Stanley #BLM (@IamStan)Thu, 01 Jul 2021 08:34 +0000

If Microsoft loves open source, then just make Copilot open source. It would be the bare minimum fair thing to do since without all that open source training data set, they would not be able to build it. But no, they want to monetize it.

throwback to that time a Google recruiter reached out to me after seeing my GitHub profile this was several months ago, but it’s only just dawned on me that they must’ve seen my profile full of abandoned projects and thought “yep, that’s Google material right there” 😂

I wrote a Chrome extension on Twitch that highlights when you are on a GitHub repository belonging to an RMS open letter of support signator. You can download and install the extension from here: github.com/aaronbassett/r…

GitHub now automatically creates a table of contents for your README.md files from your headers. 📖 After much consideration, we made this a feature of the viewer, not a concern of the editor: no special markdown to insert. 💡 Let us know what you think!

Open source friends: what are the best pieces of "Git/GitHub etiquette" you've picked up over the years? Things like submitting large changes commit-by-commit to help reviewers out.

imagine tweeting this barely over a month after your head of HR quit over a blatantly illegal firing lol

I wonder what turn around? Selling to Microsoft? I hear that GitHub still has a pretty toxic culture. I know nothing about Jason but it’s serious red flag of other pathologies to see a exec out on Twitter thirsting for more credit and recognition.

I hope one day we can tell the GitHub turnaround story. Many great people should be known & stories/lessons told For this tweet, simply this: Betting on myself 19 friends said I shouldn't do it: couldn't be done 1 said I *absolutely* had to: bet on yourself
