    I love it when I check out am applicants’ GitHub and run into a bunch of repositories with mods for hentai games.

      I mean…are they good mods? Does the candidate have good code etiquette?

      Honestly, the fact that a candidate would mod any game, let alone a hentai game, would be pluses in my book.

        I definitely do not count it against them as long as they know how to human at the interview. I just review the code as I would any repo.

        The only thing is that with regular projects I tend to go “I noticed on your GitHub you have project X that uses technology Y, etc etc”. With H projects I just go “do you have experience with Y” and let him choose how much he wants to share about the project. So far they remain vague on the non technical details and I let them leave with their dignity intact.

        So, ranked, way ahead of candidates without visible projects, but slightly behind people with projects we can discuss in detail in front of the people from HR ;)

      I was aware of forgejo back when I first started hosting Gitea. Didn’t see much of a diff back then so I just went with arguably more popular option at that time.

      About few months after it’s mostly just because I’m too lazy of a person.

        True pro gamers just use

        /Project

        /Project1

        /Project_latest

        /Project_final

        /Project_final2

          Are you the hacker known as 4Chan? How else could you know my version naming convention?

          Regardless, all will be forgiven if you can remind what folder and file actually contains the final version. So… which is it?

            You tried to get organized and moved it here. It says “alpha” and “test” but it’s the real one, ready for production.

            ~/git/projects/Project_final3-alpha-0.1.1-test

              Imposter. That was a test. The real 4Chan would know that I use:

              FileName.ACTUAL_REAL_LATEST_FINAL_PROD_VERSION

              And it works everytime, about 70% of the time.

    The idea of “self-hosting” git is so incredibly weird to me. Somehow GitHub managed to convince everyone that Git requires some kind of backend service. Meanwhile, I just push private code to bare repositories on my NAS via SSH.

      They didn’t convince anyone of anything, they just have a great free-tier service, so people prefer using it than self-hosting something. You can also self-hosted Github if you want the features they offer, besides Git.

        This post is about “self-hosting” a service, not using GitHub. That’s what I’m responding to.

        I’m not saying GitHub isn’t valuable. I use it myself. And in any situation involving multiple collaborators I’d probably recommend that kind of tool–whether GitHub or some self-hosted option–for ease of user administration, familiar PR workflows, issue tracking, etc.

        But if you’re a solo developer storing your code locally with no intention to share or collaborate, and you don’t want to use GitHub (as, again, is the case with this post) a self-hosted service adds a ton of complexity for only incremental value.

        I suspect a ton of folks simply don’t realize that you don’t need anything more than ssh and git to push/pull remote git repositories because they largely cargo cult their way through source control.

    Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I’ve seen in this thread:

    Fewer Letters More Letters
    Git Popular version control system, primarily for code
    NAS Network-Attached Storage
    SSH Secure Shell for remote terminal access

    3 acronyms in this thread; the most compressed thread commented on today has 14 acronyms.
