Yeah, like how developers were en-masse ditching GitHub to go to GitLab when Microsoft acquired GitHub.

- HumblyTossed 3mo agoIt's so weird the herd behavior of developers.
- bigfishrunning 3mo agoI would expect that's true in any field that moves as fast as software development. Developer A makes a move, perceives some benefit, tells developer B, who does the same thing and then tells developer C. Some of the people consider the move, weigh costs, and make an intelligent decision. Many just think "smart people are doing this, I'll do it too". I really doubt this behavior is unique to developers.
- legacynl 3mo agoIs it really? Statistically I would assume that if you select a bunch of people on a certain criterium, you're going to see similarities related to that criterium among that group.
- bigfishrunning 3mo agoMaybe those people weren't wrong to do that...
