Is this a real question? If so, here’s a real answer:

GitHub is the single most widely adopted, developer-specific OIDC identity provider.

If it’s facetious, then WSL BABYYYYYY

Why does this need OIDC at all? Basic email + password account is like 1-2 prompts away.

  • I guess at some point developers will have to prove they're serious developers by exposing their GitHub profile.

    Edit: it's part of your profile already, better vibe code some random ideas to farm some GitHub dev credibility.

  • It's built on laravel, email/pass/2fa/forget is all built in. GitHub auth only was a choice.

  • And having those passwords leaked is probably only another 1-2 prompts away

Guess I am simply not invited to the party then.

Or I am not a developer after all.

Identity crisis intensifies

  • The dev in /dev/null is device, not developer. So you’re not a device but you can still be a developer.
