    ngl, I'm annoyed whenever someone creates an application but doesn't want to publish their code cause it looks bad. Like no one cares that your code is bad and by publishing it, you can get others to help you improve it.

    I don't post code to GitHub because I get paid to code, and I'm too lazy to do more.

    And my code probably sucks.

    You don’t passt your code because you’re embarrassed by it.

    I don’t post my code to github because i don’t use proprietary garbage.

    We are not the same.

    You don't post your code to GitHub because you don't use proprietary garbage.

    I don't post my code to GitHub because I selfhost my own Forgejo instance.

    We are not the same.

    User name checks out. I scrolled all the way down to make sure I can say this and still be original in this particular instance only.

    The best part of Lemmy is the low userbase in comparison means it's easier to be original and not try and say the same thing a hundred times.

    Amen! There's plenty of content to doomscroll through as well. I genuinely don't miss Reddit as that part of my brain forgets it's not Reddit. Hell, we should call Lemmy "I can't believe it's not Reddit" and hire Fabio to do a commercial.

    I don't post to GitLab because I use Gitea. We are not the same.

    I don't post to Gitea because I scrawl my code onto a piece of leather made of human flesh and venture down to the shore on a stormy night to hurl it into a raging sea as I shriek insults at God in a language known only to madmen. We are not the same.

    I make throwaway accounts. Push code. Disappear forever. Come to find out nobody ever looks at it anyways.

    I'm not a professional dev. So I don't care what anyone else thinks, it's not gonna affect my job prospects. So I publish all my shit code for the world to see.

    Oh, that's the next excuse i'll use when a recruiter asks for my github page. "i'm protecting my product".

    Any good alternatives for GitHub you can recommend?

    Post it if it provides functions not found anywhere else. I can't give less fuck to code quality if it does the work for that absurd user requirement for me.

    I post to GitHub because I am GitHub
