GitHub is not free, HN is not a product, but a marketing tool for YC.

    Oh... they actually say "forever". I don't think MS has a cunning plan to suddenly start charging again for the basic plan, but still forever is a long time. Incidentally it's the only money I pay Microsoft (with the exception of a few windows licenses). I was on the $7 plan for unlimited private repos when github was independent and I got converted to some $4 plan after the buyout. I never bothered to research if i actually need the $4 plan or I could switch to free.

  Do... do you think this site is just some completely altruistic hobby project divorced from what ycombinator's ends are?
