You should never entirely depend on a third party service for deployments. Been burned too many times on that one.

Ohh no, the power is out. Eventually you have to trust someone else. GitHub is a tragedy of the Commons. Too many people are using it, and Microsoft isn't willing to handle it correctly. Feels like a very good business opportunity. Minimum 50k yearly contracts, GitHub with actual uptime. GitPro ?
- bee_rider 5mo agoMaybe we need a split between source management and distribution? The former looks like git[hub] to me, the latter maybe more like a Linux distro repo?
- sleight42 5mo agoIt's almost as though GitHub should never have let itself be sold to Microsoft...
