The same thing has happened with git over time, no? Decentralized source control, forking whatever you want/have access to when you have a flash of inspiration, etc.
Now everything is in github, gitlab, or bitbucket, and centralized there.
- anon84873628 4y agoPretty good analogy. Discovery and trade (clones/PRs) are so much easier in a centralized system. At one point I asked (rather naively - not trying to sound wise here) whether our dependence on GitHub was an outage risk. Response from CTO was that git is distributed and everyone has a copy and whatnot. In retrospect, yeah, the code is not lost, but we had never actually built the infrastructure / tested the procedures to actually handle that fallback to a distributed world...
