GitHub is great and all, but shouldn't the thanks be directed at the third party library authors?

- adgar 14y agoAnd the search providers which helped him find the libraries? God knows Github search didn't do it.
- vm 14y agoObviously the library authors make this happen and I mean no slight to them. They rock. But this thread is about Github so I focus my comments on how they add value. Github made it easier to share code and created a community. Now more people share. Github standardized project formats (which dougws points out below). It's easier to figure out what's in a library. This makes it easier for me to build complex apps. It saves my company gob loads of time & money. I fucking love Github and I fucking love people who use it to share high quality code that I don't have to recreate.
