I only have warehouse mgmt work experience(which means all IT responsibilities fall on me), but I can’t keep away from various programming projects.

I’ve only dipped into the privacy-sphere of software in the last 2 years, but I’ve found a earnest passion in my pursuits. My obsessiveness has bled into most friends asking why I haven’t pivoted my career, and I don’t have a good answer other than I assumed there’s no money to be made in it since I never finished my college CS degree.

I will code and continue my projects regardless, but was hoping this community could offer some advice or there experiences with similar endeavors. Thanks

Can you suggest some good alternatives for github?

github

I would suggest Codeberg: “Codeberg is a collaboration platform providing Git hosting and services for free and open source software, content and projects”

Cheeky answer would be: CodeForges ∩ {MS GitHub}c (anything but)

I’ve been primarily using Darcs & a little Pijul, but have been using Codeberg when I need to use Git or just self-hosting via SSH.

What are your thoughts on Gitlab, codeberg, gitea or forgejo? I have only sampled the first 3

I will check them out. Thanks.

There are dozens, but none with the same reach of people just poking around to find projects. Some people self-host things.
