• Rename GitHub, to TurdPit, and make Amber Heard their CEO (Re: The Signal Collapse gives us System Uncertainty )

    Hi,

    A 2020 study analyzing 2,927 GitHub projects found
    that many repositories quickly become unmaintained.
    This implies that the majority of projects donrCOt
    sustain long-term active development.

    Another study reported 46% of repositories inactive
    for at least six months, and only 13% active in the
    last month, showing low ongoing engagement
    across most repos.

    Because millions of repos exist on GitHub, and
    large portions are abandoned, inactive, or minimal
    rCLtoyrCY projects, the fraction of repositories that are
    well-maintained, collaborative, and used in
    production contexts is lowrCoroughly estimated
    to be around 1rCo2%.

    The caravan moves forth, leaving behind the
    occasional turd perfectly captures GitHub. Rename
    GitHub, to TurdPit, and make Amber Heard their CEO.

    Bye

    Hi,

    Having 2544 issues is probably a bad sign.
    I find this many issues here:

    https://github.com/rocq-prover/rocq/issues

    Mostlikely 90% of the issues can be move to
    the new discussion feature of GitHub.

    LoL

    P.S.: Same holds for Scryer Prolog with 406 issues.

    Hi,

    Maybe AGI should take over proving.
    Just take the humans out of the loop
    of any programming, it leads to nowhere.
