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

Well use whatever you want, the point is showing you have code out there, which is inherently NOT a very privacy-centric act.

Exactly. Our words matter & the sooner we stop using Google to mean search or MS GitHub to mean code, the sooner we can start shifting the narritive towards entities that better respect our privacy or even gasp self-hosting. Word choice for social change is just as important for spreading the message.

Can you suggest some good alternatives for github?

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.
