100 years from now maybe github will be the new geosites. Or maybe my great great grandkids can review that PR I made today.

- jason_slack 9y agoWow, great thought. Maybe I had better write better commit messages then.

- ktta 9y agoReminds me of how increasingly online everything has become, which is being documented in perfect detail. Would be interesting how sociology would change a couple decades from now.
- saagarjha 9y ago> which is being documented in perfect detail I wouldn't go as far as to say that…websites are lost every day without an archive of them being taken.
- Cthulhu_ 9y agoThe difference being that you can clone the exact contents of a repo with one press of a button. That's just the code though, I wish Github also stored wiki, issues, images, and all other "meta" data into the repository as well. That way, it would be easy for archive.org and other parties to build a scraper that just takes snapshots of all repos every once in a while, for posterity.
