You missed the rest of the comment, which was to the effect that such AI agents are not allowed on Codeberg. Any abuse at scale will be easily detected and banned.

I said any abuse at scale. Very good heuristics are quite straightforward, you can then manually check those that are less reliable.

Manually check? What? You want their staff to check your company's secret code?

Come on man.

Heuristics are never 100%. Even a 0.001% error rate is simply unacceptable to businesses.

We’re talking about Codeberg. “Your company’s secret code” is not welcome there.
