Since 2020, I've taught JS/Python on major online learning platforms, including freeCodeCamp.org to make coding fun & easy. I also build full-stack apps/AI agents and write technical SaaS docs.
Where is Microsoft's AI? Can't AI identify robots from normal users?
It is a shame for github to use 2FA and still can't prevent spams.
And 2FA caused a lot normal users fail to login!

Hi, I’m Kudzai — a passionate African tech builder, full-stack developer, and digital problem-solver.
I create modern applications that make life easier for real people.
Full-stack dev shipping Django/React SaaS and Shopify stores since 2018. 37 client projects, 11 live Shopify builds. I write production war stories so you don’t repeat my outages.

They are/will be getting better by ai-generating a variety of repos and commits, and the only thing that can be characteristic is account recency, which can also be overcome by advance planning.
There are also at least hundreds if not thousands of bot accounts here on dev.to, some of which link to spam accounts on github.

The problem is there are way too many "normal" people registered on GitHub. Spam doesn't work on devs, we're too smart, so when there was only devs on GitHub everybody left us alone. Today there's 100 million users on the platform.
Realizing there's only 27 million devs in the world implies 73 million of its users are not devs, resulting in psychopath marketers having embraced it for spam purposes ...

YOU NAILED IT. It's unlikely that developers would intentionally spam people or fall for spamming tactics. I don't believe it. Of course, "we are too smart" than that. The real issue arises when these interruptions disrupt our workflow.
INNOVATIONS ANALYST delivered everything they promised. I have been able to refinance my house, buy a new car. They fully recovered my stolen crypto, I never thought it was possible. If you have been scammed of your hard earned money send a mail to their support at ( INNOVATIONSANALYST . COM ) , I have referred many friends and even a few family members to their service and they’ve all come back with positive feedbacks

Cool.. You never experienced it. However some people get spam through Pull requests, repositories, or user profiles promoting irrelevant or harmful content. sometimes it gets worse.
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
I havnt seen this and I do check GH a few times a day and my email. You can problu make a userscript to make it easer to report this.
Thanks.. I will try.

Yeah.. that's true. Microsoft's AI is not intelligent enough to handle that. I found two popular SPAM issues that developers facing on GitHub:
"WHY IS MY ACCOUNT FLAGGED AS SPAM?!"
Here is another one: "You are marked as spam, and therefore cannot authorize a third party application."
These GitHub discussions offer solutions to FIX them.
Will try it, thanks for sharing
Yup. Got tagged twice about that crypto scam on GitHub
Report them all 🤦♂️
Same here. GitHub is the last site I would expect they would use for this purpose.
Exactly, me too!

I agree. bot accounts are messing up everywhere.

Return it back to devs and no more problem ...

?? How do you get spam on GitHub? I don't get it. I've certainly never had any
