EDIT: I don't like the term 'soy boy', just picked 'soydev' for a lack of a better word, intending to use it semi-ironically.
recently I saw a project move PR discussions to discord, like what's the point of using a git forge at this point, you can as well just use git send-email
Ah yes, let's move everything to a place where it's impossible to follow conversations or retrieve past information
They even started putting in a forum system further cementing the problem...
I worked at the server company that previously hosted discord servers (no longer exists) and let me tell you right now that all your conversations were accessible on the server to anyone in the company and completely and totally insecure. Overall security was pretty meh and it wouldn't be very difficult for anyone who really wanted the information to gain access to anything on your server.
It is not a valid place to store or discuss anything that requires operational security. It is also not a place where customer data should be stored or discussed, in fact you're also probably breaking gdpr by accident if you ever do so.
IDK either but I'm guessing it's a play on "soyboy", so basically just calling the devs that engage in this behavior wusses and losers.
I hate how soy has been used by bigots as an insult. Soy products are bloody delicious!
I agree and am aware of the connotations of such terms, didn't really mean to get associated with bigots like this.
I like it, makes sense lol
I'm imagining devs that use MS word as revision control.
Edit: apparently I imagined wrongly
the impression i got is that soydevs are developers who create or use bloated apps or websites
I'm gonna just leave this here: https://www.answeroverflow.com/
Could not replicate the information I had gotten earlier on Discord for some specific project. Also, even if it did it would probably still be only an API change away from not working.
Never heard about projects using Discord for docs (sounds terrible and useless, tbh), but now I'm afraid of it.
Our only hope would be feeding the whole instance to an LLM and hope it gives correct answers
