Git allows me to write code as much as I want. But GitHub does more than just Git. If you don’t remember the details of the next task you need to work on and GitHub is down, that’s a problem. As a senior I spend a lot of time reviewing PRs. That’s considerably harder when GitHub is down.
Sounds dumb to be that dependent on a US platform in 2026 AD
What do you use for project management? What platform-less system are you using for that? Or are you saying to use a non-US platform? Do you have specifics.
Well couldn't you have your own self hosted "Git(hub)"?
The tangible cost of the server it runs on and the intangible costs of the engineering time required to set up and maintain it are more than the cost of SaaS equivalents. We could but it’s a better business decision to migrate to another SaaS (since GitHub has become so unreliable).
