Sounds like a good opportunity to draw some square kufic.

The Weekender is also anyone working professionally. You can't stick any of your real work on public github.

Github has an option to show private commits in these graphs though

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago

Yup, but you might have another GitHub account!

the "does most commits to private repositories" user

[–] [email protected] 5 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I’m the “makes commits to Azure DevOps because that’s what his company uses” user, so mine looks a lot like number 4.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago

How do you ~~enjoy~~ like Azure DevOps?

I recently had the ~~pleasure~~ of working with it. Thank god I only set up CI for a different team and I'm not part of that project.

you can configure github to paint private repo commits in the tiles, that's what I do, so it almost looks like #3, but less homogeneous.

Kinda, theres a way orgs can now hide the activity. For example, my github:

and then when im logged in:

Im in multiple orgs but the main one is protected.

But GH commit tiles are a silly metric anyways.

The “my company works with bitbucket or gitlab”.

I’m the release manager for my company. I’d have so many fucking contributions 😅

The worst part? "readme updates" instead of "update readme".

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

don't post pictures of my face online, that's rude >:(

In all seriousness I wonder why I always realize I could have explained myself better/left something out/omg formatting error better fix it/holy shit typo after the initial commit, and have like 4 different ones (or a bunch of rebases in an effort to keep the repo clean of this crap) fixing it, instead of pushing just a correct and complete readme from the beginning.

This is also why most of my Lemmy comments have edits. Not some weird sketchy crap editing things in to make others look bad or totally change my point after getting refuted, but just… oops typo or I could reword that to be more understandable or I meant to say this and totally forgot about it.

Look at this amateur, using a mouse to commit. I have a macro defined just to commit and push as a background job so that I can start editing the README again ASAP.

Third one should be called "A Bot"

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

100%

My GitHub profile looked like that for a while when I was using my own PAT for a CI step that did repo syncing.

Now a bot account gets all the credit. :(

I'm number 4, but instead of looking for a job, the pattern is subject to my crippling depression. Most of the time I simply feel that it's pointless to work on my projects, so I don't :(

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I see the point in my projects yet I am frustrated and depressed by my perceived lack of progress.

Want to start a project and procrastinate on it together?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't see the point of anything anymore, you folks need a community manager?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I’ve made up more names for new projects than what I have actually written code for. Yall looking for a product owner?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Damn. I have the opposite problem. I make up ideas for projects that I may or may not build and can't come up with a decent name.

My last project that I actually build was an MQTT based smart planter for integration with homeassistant using an ESP32 MCU. My project name? ESPlanter...

#3 is my script that converts one particular RSS feed to .ical format, and pushes it to a repo, because setting up a website for one silly script was overkill.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

#3 is actually impossible because the color gradient is relative and dynamic, is it not?

Ah rectangle dude. Invented the triangle and revolutionised art from the 1930s onwards until Picasso made minecraft

Wish it would include commits of our closed Gitlab instance on Github, then I wouldn’t be #4
