  • Maybe I’m just lazy, I’ve only invested 10-15 hours total into my config.

    Once I got it working, I’ve never bothered to really even touch it. (I probably should, it’s most likely months of out of date…just like my NixOS config…)

    Next time I make changes will probably be when I update to 0.10 for inlay hints and set that up along with attempting to fix that error message that randomly pops up every time I start Neovim.

    Also probably not the typical Neovim config experience, but I’ve configured it enough to get of my way, now I just want to write code.




  • AI’s not bad, it just doesn’t save me time. For quick, simple things, I can do it myself faster than the AI. For more big, complex tasks, I find myself rigorously checking the AI’s code to make sure no new bugs or vulnerabilities are introduced. Instead of reviewing that code, I’d rather just write it myself and have the confidence that there are no glaring issues. Beyond more intelligent autocomplete, I don’t really have much of a need for AI when I program.




  • They’re both pretty on par for the most part. If it’s too much of a hassle, there’s no real need to switch.

    Now that Gitea is owned by a for-profit company, people are afraid that they’ll be making anti-user changes. This, Forgejo was born. It pulls from Gitea weekly, so it’s not missing anything. It’s also got some of its own features on top, but they’re currently pretty minor. Also, most of the features end up getting backported back to Gitea, so they’re mostly on par with each other. However, many features find themselves in Forgejo first, as they don’t have the copyright assignment for code that Gitea does. Additionally, security vulnerabilities tend to get fixed faster on Forgejo. They are working on federation plans, however, so we’ll see how that pans out.

    Overall, there’s no downside of switching to Forgejo, and you’ll probably be protected if Gitea Ltd. makes some stupid decisions in the future. However, at the moment, there’s no immediate advantage to switching, so you can stick with Gitea if you’d like.
