Codeberg is why developers are broke

There is no reason code should be free.

Are building materials free? Is food free? What about electricity?

Did you get anything back after Anthropic hooved up every single line of code on GitHub and reached a valuation of $380 Billion dollars? Nopes.

They'd be worth nothing without YOUR code.

Codeberg says it gives your code a "...a safe and friendly home.".. More like a free funnel of unlimited code to train AI models on.

Codeberg even states in its own policy that private repos are only allowed temporarily. Everything is expected to go public eventually.

Your code is your blood, your sweat and your tears. You should decide who sees it and who has access to it. It's your IP.

Therefore... Don't use GitHub. Don't use Codeberg. Don't use GitLab.

Spin up your own VPS with Gitea or Forgejo and own what you've created. It's yours and should never be given away for free.

If you need to share it, use https://sharemygit.com

Self-host your repos. Share on your terms. Stop giving your work away for free.
