I DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT THE FUCKING CODE! i just want to download this stupid fucking application and use it https://github.com/sherlock-project/sherlock#installation

WHY IS THERE CODE??? MAKE A FUCKING .EXE FILE AND GIVE IT TO ME. these dumbfucks think that everyone is a developer and understands code. well i am not and i don't understand it. I only know to download and install applications. SO WHY THE FUCK IS THERE CODE? make an EXE file and give it to me. STUPID FUCKING SMELLY NERDS

In short, a finance manager from a betting company reached out to me via my personal emails. He wants to purchase my GitHub handle for 1 million USD.

My GitHub username is just one character long, which is quite rare. However, I don’t believe it’s worth a million USD. Additionally, I suspect selling a username violates the TOS. Therefore, I don't want to take any risks and I love my username :)

I’m thoroughly confused about the GitHub support pages and couldn’t find any way to contact a real human. So, I’ve decided to seek help here.

My question is, has anyone encountered a scam like this before?

So one of my repo's reached 1k stars and this banner popped up. I had never seen that before so i clicked on Read more and one of the first things i see is and i quote :

An appointed successor can manage your public repositories after presenting a > death certificate then waiting for 7 days or presenting an obituary then > >waiting for 21 days. For more information, see GitHub Deceased User Policy.

kinda spooked me ngl, weird way to celebrate, github and im not checking out the godamn Github Deceased User Policy... i thought this was a happy day

....because I saw a script someone shared on LinkedIn that automatically contributes to a readme.

They're https://github.com/NoseyLoner , was talking with them when they showed me their acc and this was the first thing I saw 😂. Please do not contact or harass them.

It fetches my GitHub contribution graph from the past 72 weeks and displays it on an LED panel on my desk

So today I receive hate mail for the first time in my open source journey!
I decided to open source a few of my projects a few years ago, it's been a rather positive experience so far.

I have a strong anti-AI/anti-vibecode stance on my projects in order to main code quality and avoid legal problems due to the plagiarizing nature of AI.

It's been getting difficult to tell which PRs are vibecoded or not, so I judge by the character/quality of the PR rather than being an investigation. But once in a while, I receive a PR that's stupidly and obviously vibecoded. A thousand changes and new features in a single PR, comments every 2 lines of code... Well you know the hallmarks of it.

A few days ago I rejected all the PRs of someone who had been Claud'ing to the max, I could tell because he literally had a .claude entry added to the .gitignore in his PR, and some very very weird changes.

If you're curious, here's the PR in question

https://github.com/Fredolx/open-tv/pull/397

This kind of bullshit really make me question my work in open source sometimes, reviewing endless poorly written bugs and vibecoded PRs takes way too much of my time. Well, whatever, we keep coding.
