What It's Actually Like to Be an LFX Mentee at CNCF
Open source is still the best place to learn in public and get real feedback on your work. What surprised me is how much a small change can matter. Before this mentorship, I had contributed to GitLab: a single change fixing an outdated tutorial that was sending new contributors to a search string that no longer existed in the codebase. Small fix, but every new contributor who followed that guide hit that wall. It just went in and quietly stopped being a problem for people.

GitLab Announces Workforce Reduction and End of Their Credit Values
With it’s current AI setup GitLab still couldn’t make anything that could be called great in UX so I can’t wait to see what they can do by eliminating the remaining human factor. Can’t personally wait seeing tickets like these [0] open for months with bots telling you that everything will be alright.

Heap Overflow in FFmpeg EXIF
I just need to say that "commits" has been translated to Spanish as "confirmations" in that website, and it made me chuckle.
Is Forgejo using LLM-assisted translations? Or simply somepne without any context whatsoever in order to understand the word's meaning?
I went on a fun detour and ended up finding [1] where Gitlab had that same discussion.
I'd love to retroactively chime in in that discussion and confirm (hah) that the english word "Commit" has trascended any translation attempts, and absolutely nobody would know what you're talking about if you say "confirmation" in an attempt to use a spanish term.

Days since last GitHub incident
Is it any better ?
We had that last year, with the full premium stuff ("pay as much as we can" mindset)
Please see this: a basic feature, much needed by lots of people (those who are stuck on azure ..): https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/360592
Please read the entire thread with a particular attention to the timeline

Debian 13, Postgres, and the US/* time zones
I ran into a similar bug in Git Lab where the v18 upgrade didn’t replace now-unsupported time zones so things like scheduled pipelines simply stopped running and were labeled inactive in the UI without explanation.
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/556779#note_26...
The fix is simply to change them to the non-backwards linked names but it caused some confusing API errors since data which would no longer pass validation was already in the database and didn’t look wrong.

GitHub is no longer independent at Microsoft after CEO resignation
I am not trying to start trouble, or a heated debate, but I did want to say that my experience was the same as OPs and I am also coming from a static typing background so that likely explains my having a similar experience and expectations. I did for sure use RubyMine for attempting a change, so not "vim and yolo" but rather world class tooling and trying to discern where any random symbol came from was oppressively hard
That's not even getting into attempting to use their "happy path" <https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/v18.2.1-ee/.gitp...> -> https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-development-kit#local which I found just incredibly challenging getting it to use my copies of the repos. But, just like in every one of these conversations, it's been a number of years since I tried it so maybe it's much better now

Microsoft Dependency Has Risks
GitHub is also from them and brings the very same risks. The solution would be to build viable open source alternative but decentralized. GitLab Federation [1] or Forgejo (Codeberg) Federation [2] might be the answer.
