Microslop is a tiny scrappy start-up company, give them some slack and patience, they can't just throw virtually unlimited money at the problem to solve it...

    I wouldn't want to have the job of managing GitHub infrastructure right now. The sheer volume of AI slop being uploaded must be unimaginable

    Hi, supersquirrel here, are you tired of people scamming you out of money with emails tantalizingly asking you to help start a realllllly profitable business in a foreign country?

    Well, I have a solution for you! Pay me lots of money and I will tell you EXACTLY what you want to hear about those scammers/business opportunities!

    I once got into an argument with someone about how AI PRs are terrible and overwhelm FOSS projects which are already notoriously understaffed and burned out. Eventually I just started having Claude generate the most verbose responses it could, prefaced with "to make my point, from now on to continue this argument you'll need to read a mountain of AI slop I probably didn't read myself, and all I have to do is copy and paste into Claude and hit generate"

    Whoever has that job also very likely has blood on their hands from being involved in facilitating (or remaining silent about) the Palestinian Genocide with Microslop products like Azure and other computing services, so FUCK them, pile the misery on to them until they crumble into dust as a person for all I care.

    I mean it's a job homie, I mean there are some jobs you can't be forgiven for doing like death camp guard, or gas chamber operator, or whatever Kathleen Kennedy's job title is. But I don't think network engineer is on that list

    and I mean it is a job that gets blood on your hands, homie.

    If they don't want that baggage, they can deploy their golden parachute and go head another company/organization.

    Stop carrying water for these people.

    You can't just seven degrees of Kevin Bacon everyone into being involved in the genocide of Palestine.

    You can't just pretend having some arbitrary connection to Kevin Bacon is the same as being all the way at the top of the power structure of one of the most powerful entities on earth that is actively seeking profit from an ongoing Genocide.

    There's an image going around showing a bar chart of GitHub uptimes over the last several years. It was steady as a rock until Microsoft took over, then it started dipping like crazy and never recovered.

    Man, remember when three nines was the standard uptime guarantee?

    I do. I was there when we hosted everything internally and everyone moved to the cloud for "reliability".

    Oh how the turntables....

    If anyone is interested in heading back toward hosting your own infra, lmk and I may come back to tech.

    "but what if we keep using the first digit as all of the nines 🤔" Microslop thought as they pushed 10 000 more LoC shat out by AI to production without reading it.
