GitHub has not removed malicious imitation software after 3 weeks
On the 31st August I got an email from a customer, telling me that they had found an imitation of my data wrangling software on Github. I’m not linking to it, but here is a screenshot: It is using our product name and logo, without permission. I reported it to Github as an imitation on […]
The GitHub wiki is an anti-pattern
The “should I use the wiki or a docs folder on GitHub?” discussion comes up every 6 months or so, and following Shawn Wang’s three strikes rule I thought it was about time I wrote something down about it. The initial version of this post opened with “You can use the wiki or a docs […]

This resulted in packet loss due to the remaining active paths becoming saturated. Our data centers use a leaf-spine switch fabric in each compute cage, and an aggregation […]
GitHub has alternatives, but no replacement
Codeberg, a Git code hosting platform, recently took a decision to prohibit projects that mostly consist of generative-AI-written code which has prompted concern and extensive discussion elsewhere. The decision does not surprise me, and I don’t mean that as a criticism. Codeberg has always presented itself as a mission-driven alternative to GitHub, not neutral infrastructure. […]
