Turned on the new #GitHub "Code Quality" feature that seems to be some extended CodeQL + AI.

It's actually worse than anything #SonarQube gave us. That actually gave really good reports on code smells, regressions and coverage failure. It was reliable.

It really does appear tech companies are replacing everything with expensive, resource intensive systems that give worse results and expect us to pay more @pluralistic #enshitificaton

I again spend two days of digging into (self-hosted) CI.

It is shocking how software development is dependent on #GitHub, their action runners and hosting of libraries!

I try to avoid it. For most projects I use #CodeBerg. Codeberg CI-support gets better and the public runners they offer are already quite good. The situation already has improved so much over the last two years.

I wanted reproduceable tests that also run in the CI, exactly the same way. In my case this requires the CI job to span up containers: docker-in-docker. This is not something Codeberg offers, so again I tried to configure my self-hosted forgejo-runner. The documentation is still a heavy read and there are no clear guidelines at all. I went from one error to the next for two days straight. In the end I gave up, I could not get directories from the job container mounted correctly in the containers started by the job container.

If anyone would offer help, I would take any advice.

The #GitHub CEO is "stepping down" and won't be replaced, and GitHub is becoming part of MSFT's AI division.

So AI took someone's job, and it was a CEO's.

A decade ago, when I started university, GitHub's #opensource Atom was the standard text editor that new programmers got introduced to "by default". It was what the university suggested, and so everyone who didn't already have an opinion on text editors started using it.

Years later, #Microsoft bought #GitHub, discontinued Atom, and introduced the replacement: Visual Studio Code. It has completely taken over as the "default editor" for new programmers.

#VSCode is proprietary. This sucks.
