Embrace? With so many devs constantly being laid off, how about NO?
is there any script or tool out there that helps automate the mirroring of GH repos to Codeberg (or another forge)? I have 150+ repos, most are archived or outdated, but if I'm migrating I'd like to do with everything.
update:
Codeberg limits the number of repositories per user to 100 by default. If you have more than 100 repositories to migrate, you'll need to request a higher quota following their instructions.
bummer; I might need to host forgejo
Honestly,I just picked the 10 most used ones, mirrored them for a while, and called it a day. I believe there is processes out there but you may run into Github API restrictions if you do it all at the same time (and/or without a specific token).
https://www.rahuljuliato.com/posts/github_to_codeberg has some instructions on how to do a bulk migration using LionyxML's script. https://codeberg.org/LionyxML/migrate-github-to-codeberg
So many people completely miss the mark when it comes to AI and coding. It's great for code reviews on code you wrote yourself, and it can be handy when you're developing code for a domain you don't have much experience in.
What it is not good for is writing code on its own. Not if you want your code to be efficient, or performant, work correctly, or even compile.

Why do all these idiots behave as if they knew where the future is?
If it's about all the achievements they've read about and seen in games like Civilization, real-life doesn't quite look like that. Though in some sense these games, though good, have kinda simplified and made degenerate the understanding of the progress by many people. Similarly to what Soviet school program did, but in a more persuasive and pleasant way.
There's no tech tree. There's been plenty of attempts at any breakthrough before it actually happened. Suppose this "AI" is to some real future AGI what Leonardo's machines were to Wright brothers' machines, even in that case there's no hurry to embrace it.
If he thinks he's looking at a 90% achieved tech tree point with powerful perks, then his profession should probably be that of a janitor. Same day schedule, same places to mop up, you know.
