GitHub is becoming a huge revenue source for them FYI. They are stealing a TON of business from competitors. Shoot, if Microsoft had a real competitor for Jira, they would probably steal even more business.

    Well… Today I learned that all my old code from university is just… gone. Is it too much to expect for them not to delete data that we’ve given them for safekeeping?

      The Bitbucket folks were kind enough to delay deletion to let us at Software Heritage archive their Mercurial repositories. I only see one mercurial repo (yamlconfig) from you, though: https://archive.softwareheritage.org/browse/search/?q=https%3A%2F%2Fbitbucket.org%2Faeolun&with_visit=true&with_content=true https://archive.softwareheritage.org/browse/search/?q=https%... But you can search them directly on https://archive.softwareheritage.org/ https://archive.softwareheritage.org/ if you used a different username.

> if Microsoft had a real competitor for Jira, they would probably steal even more business. But they have a real competitor for Jira. Check out the recently beefed up GitHub Projects, my previous (scrum-ish) team was running on it and we've liked it more than Jira. Much simpler, but just enough for a dev. Didn't check out whether it's available on enterprise github though (i.e. local instances).
