Comment on GitHub CEO delivers stark message to developers: Embrace AI or get out.

Call it the network effect, or the momentum of becoming a staple in the tech community, or whatever; GitHub is here to stay for a while, and the leaders in charge of it are well aware of this.

GitHub has gained enough attention that it is almost impossible to ignore. Projects on GitHub tend to attract a level of engagement (code contributions, issue reports, and feedback) that other code forges do not enjoy.

One unfortunate consequence of this, which I have experienced firsthand very recently, is when recruiters ask for links to my past work or open-source contributions but refuse to accept links to relevant repositories on GitLab. The number of companies where this occurred was significant enough for me to set up mirror repositories on GitHub.

Another frustrating but silly consequence was when I was questioned during one of the interviews why my activity graph on GitHub was empty. I had simply not enabled it.
