I seem to recall being rejected from their system because I hadn't given them and GitHub enough free labor to accrue the Internet points that would make me a "real" developer. Merely being paid to write software for years and years makes me a faker, I guess.
I like that the ads list comp (god, that saves a bunch of everyone's time) but I never checked them again after that. Dunno if they knocked that off or kept doing it.

- brimble 5y agoMaybe they only did that briefly and people have forgotten, and I was just unlucky? Maybe folks think it's fine? Maybe framing farming upvotes and stars on GH and SO as giving free labor to corporations is rubbing people the wrong way (though that seems like a pretty neutral and fair characterization of that dynamic, to me)? Dunno.
