The original blog post is rather frank and to the point. Wish the engineering leadership I worked with communicated this well.
The fucking lunacy of the AI bros he lists as examples...
Do you know anything about the referenced vendor lock-in?
Basically all the stuff that is build by GitHub and not part of git. Like the pull request discussion boards that is not stored in the git repository. They can’t transfer that out of GitHub to another git host.
It's just that all your shit and users are there, like issue tracking in this case.
