Lots of new GitHub competitors and products emerging trying to take advantage of GitHub being hugged to death. And yet, nearly every single one misses the point: GitHub is an incredible product a) GitHub gives away a ridiculous amount of compute and storage for free - GitHub actions, cache, packages, release artifacts, pages, etc etc etc - tons of value immediately usable b) its ridiculously easy to sign up, push some code, make an action, store some stuff, and get up and going with one “git push” command - no one has the time or energy to integrate 13 new workflows and tools (this is why jj never took off and why I suspect something like tangled’s nix runners won’t be popular) c) unfortunately, for better or for worst, unless these things result in a superior product, implementation and architecture do not matter. No one REALLY cares if your product is backed by intergalactic-interconnected-durable-objects in space: they care if it solves a problem, they get good value from using it, and it’s usable. Yes GitHub availability is shit these days. I hope it gets better: not because I hope they figure out how to scale their networks and HAproxy and compute to the moon. I hope it gets better because it’s an amazing product with incredible value that I enjoy using. Nothing else compares.
