They note that users frequently request fixes for broken features like GIF uploads and often lock themselves out using two-factor authentication. Mention is made of the Mastodon open-source project recently adding a trademark to its name, which the hosts interpret as a sign of impending venture capital involvement.

IT insiders report that the contractors, including CGI Federal, failed to use basic version control systems like Git or Subversion. The project is described as "amateur hour," with testing consisting of simple command-line tools rather than robust quality assurance.

The widespread adoption of Git and GitHub allows for large-scale project management without developers "stepping on each other," potentially reducing the need for H1B visa workers from India. Critics argue these initiatives are designed to create a surplus of "code monkeys" for investors to exploit.
