I find that hard to believe. They're one of the most popular and successful companies in the Ruby community and they have paid accounts that they've been collecting on for quite some time now. EY has thousands of customers who pay them every month and can afford it. How would it be that one of their most popular customers who doesn't pay anything for hosting wouldn't be able to pay them for once?
- grandalf 17y agoEY is super expensive. Also most of the cost is for support techs who can read/understand ruby code and gems. Chances are the github guys don't really need that.

- ptomato 17y agoNo he isn't. http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=scott_s http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=scott_s
- scott_s 17y agoIndeed, I am not Scott Shacon. Too many Scott's! One time in undergrad three of us sat in a column and confused the hell out of our compiler's professor.

- ionfish 17y agoNo, it's not. Scott Chacon's surname starts with a C, not an S. http://github.com/schacon http://github.com/schacon http://progit.org/ http://progit.org/
- technoweenie 17y agoHow many of those customers have VC funding? Github is completely bootstrapped.
