Gytis RepečkaAttention server admins! Yesterday I've read <a href="https://mastodon.scot/@simon_brooke/114618257884522043" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">a post</a> by <a href="https://mastodon.scot/@simon_brooke" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@simon_brooke</a> how nasty AI scraper bots are attacking his self-hosted <a href="https://floss.social/@forgejo" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@forgejo</a> instance. Soon after I'm seeing unusual, periodic traffic spikes on <a href="https://source.gyt.is/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">mine</a> and again - dominated by OpenAI, but some other freeloaders too:<pre><code>20.171.207.41 GPTBot/1.2 85.208.96.211 SemrushBot/7~bl 54.36.148.64 AhrefsBot/7.0 114.119.139.53 PetalBot </code></pre>With <code>GPTBot</code> and <code>SemrushBot</code> attacking hardest :blobcatscared:They've been hammering my little server periodically today as well, slowing down my instance dramatically as if I was experiencing malicious DDoS attack :blobcatfearful: Well, in a sense it is one :blobcatnotlikethis:Watch out - it seems corporate AI techbros learned to scrape :forgejo: content and starts doing it on a massive scale :blobcatoutage: Remember when <a href="https://social.anoxinon.de/@Codeberg" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Codeberg</a> was (and repeatedly is) hit?For now blocked IP ranges and <code>User-Agent</code> combinations, not sure for how long that will be enough :blobcatumm:Please boost for visibility and be prepared!<a href="https://social.gyt.is/tags/forgejo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#forgejo</a> <a href="https://social.gyt.is/tags/developerlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#developerlife</a> <a href="https://social.gyt.is/tags/coding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#coding</a> <a href="https://social.gyt.is/tags/attack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#attack</a> <a href="https://social.gyt.is/tags/techbros" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#techbros</a> <a href="https://social.gyt.is/tags/aislop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aislop</a> <a href="https://social.gyt.is/tags/openai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#openai</a> <a href="https://social.gyt.is/tags/bots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bots</a> <a href="https://social.gyt.is/tags/ddos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ddos</a>

meteyouNeeded a mental reset via a day trip to Grado, Italy! 🌊 Swapping the keyboard for sand between the toes works wonders.Listened to the waves, felt the sun, just breathed. An espresso on the beach helped clear the head. Great for fresh perspective – maybe some coding inspiration will follow. ✨How do you disconnect and find your reset away from the screen?

Gytis RepečkaAll developers I've met in my career in IT, who insisted code is self-documenting were exceptionally bad in documenting anything :blobcatreading:While their code usually ran just fine, they could hardly ever explain how it worked or why it was structured that way to someone else, especially junior developers.Comments and annotations exists for a reason.<a href="https://social.gyt.is/tags/developerlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#developerlife</a> <a href="https://social.gyt.is/tags/coding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#coding</a> <a href="https://social.gyt.is/tags/documentation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#documentation</a>

🥳 _-/\-_ 🤯Joined a new customer project today. The project started recently. Customer provides project director and business analysts. We provide architects/devs. Watched a recap of a recent kickoff meeting to get familiar with the business domain and the project setup. In this meeting I noticed that they presented a rough and very (very very) optimistic timeline. Me: Were any technical people involved back then when you were setting the timeline? Project Director: No. The dates are fixed. Why?

Aleksander StojanowskiTime to step away from the code and recharge with my favorite people. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦❤️ Sometimes the best solutions come when you’re not staring at the screen!

Danny SteinbrecherDie Software-Architektur sauber und wartbar zu halten, kann eine Herausforderung sein. In meinem neuesten Blogbeitrag gehe ich auf ArchUnit ein und zeige, wie man damit sicherstellt, dass die Architektur auf Kurs bleibt! Wenn du als Entwickler deine Codequalität verbessern und Architekturregeln durchsetzen willst, ist dieser Beitrag genau das Richtige für dich! 💡<a href="https://www.codecentric.de/wissens-hub/blog/archunit-in-der-praxis-architektur-sauber-halten-und-optimieren" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.codecentric.de/wissens-hub/blog/archunit-in-der-praxis-architektur-sauber-halten-und-optimieren</a><a href="https://chaos.social/tags/softwaredevelopment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#softwaredevelopment</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/ArchUnit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ArchUnit</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/codemaintenance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#codemaintenance</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/qualitycode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#qualitycode</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/developerlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#developerlife</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/codingtips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#codingtips</a> codecentric AG

Mariatta 🤦🏻‍♀️ :python:Time spent figuring out how to change code because there was no doc explaining this behavior: 3 hours.Time spent changing code: 10 minutes.

Mariatta 🤦🏻‍♀️ :python:Started the coffee maker at 9 AM.Thought I'd address PR review feedback while waiting.Then I merged. Then I got merge conflict on another PR. Then I resolved it. Then I deployed and tested on staging. Then I informed the client. Then I realized it's lunch time and the coffee is now cold.<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/DeveloperLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DeveloperLife</a>
