> We folded it up because we achieved the goal we sought at the time, and didn't see a reason to continue. In 2018, MS bought Github for 7B. Google Code started to be shutdown mid-2015. In 2015 it wasn't clear yet that it would be valuable for Google to host the world's code?

Well, it is hard/very distasteful to put ads on a source code hosting website, so this likely isn't aligned with Google's interest. No, I am not joking.

  github shows me ads to their other tools, conferences and whatever all the time. And my company is a paying customer.
