I think maybe it's not that GitHub is using AI, but that the amount of AI slop going into GitHub may be more than they expected.

So am I the only one thinking that maybe GitHub is succumbing to the weight of AI slop that's coming in from all the vibecoding, clawbots, and other AI workflows?

Can't wait for him to talk shit about "new business daddy".
Unlike many parts of California, Houston is not exactly a welcoming environment (weather) for the unhoused.

It's built on a swamp after all.

The summer is a brutal mix of heat and humidity that basically runs from May through September with frequent severe storms or tropical events. October and November start to get cold and from December through March it alternates between the 70s and 30s. March and April are nice again as long as you can get out of the rain.

Houston does not exist without HVAC and living without it is difficult and frequently dangerous.

True, I was thinking that its not truly free floating sea ice and that much of it may be supported by the remaining ice its attached to (hence the crack).

Water in the form of a solid takes up less spaces than as a liquid so not sure I agree... Plus there is a large part of this that is above sea level currently so that part is not current being displaced.
I would like to see the ability to apply a rate to a person on a project and have that flow through to the invoice. I think there needs to be flexibility to edit the rate or write down hours but other than that its really nice.

20 years ago. Still waiting on HURD by the way and when was the last time anyone outside of the hard core techs referred to Linux as GNU\Linux

Agreed, if anything they already guaranteed failure of the project by attaching the GNU to the name.
