> Hacktoberfest, an event designed to encourage people to practice contributing to open source projects, was particularly notable this year due to a third-party video that led to a massive uptick in reports, especially spam and disrupting others’ experiences on GitHub, at the start of October.
I don't. I think the gist of it was a YouTuber instructing probably-younger, less-experienced people to issue spammy PRs (e.g. small update to READMEs).
Don't see their source code nor a public apology for supporting ICE with a strong financial aid campaign for people in these camps, therefore the transparency argument is nil.
One of the most disruptive changes was the master-> something else.
Sure the default is now main. But for a few months teams came up with their own standards. Now when I'm working on large scale changes across many systems I continously have too be aware of these new defaults.
trunk
main
dev
develop
main
prod
Canary
...etc this is time I wish I didn't have to spend. The amount of effort I've had to spend has done nothing to benefit race relationships and of course we still have master branches laying around.
