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.
