- ocdtrekkie 6y agoIt's really weird a choice in the email to provide links that looked like they weren't on GitHub to redirect to the GitHub URLs... For a moment, I was wondering if they had like a self-hosted GitHub Enterprise setup or something, until I noticed the URL redirected anyways.
- pron 6y agoThat's intentional. Links will contain the redirecting address on our domain so that when we move off of GH (some day; nothing lasts forever), links will continue to work.
- ocdtrekkie 6y ago...I can't argue with that unassailable logic. Particularly since I use the same when I insist on using my own domain for my email address now, regardless of what provider I use behind it, after the difficulty of handing out my replacement address to everyone who used to have my old Gmail account...
- s3cur3 6y agoThis strategy has saved our bacon at work more than a handful of times. All the URLs we ship in our apps point to a "lookup" server (just Nginx with a huge list of redirect rules), such that if the URL we were using in the app disappears, we can change it on the server side rather than requiring a client update.

- pron 6y agoYeah, that timeline starts towards the end of Sun's life, when investment in Java was at an ebb. Since the acquisition by Oracle, investment in Java has grown.
