MY COMMENT
🤔 This is exactly the locked-in kinda of DILEMMA starting from at the beginning of joining or at the end in exiting (you or company)
Sub-points of DILEMMA
- Joining dilemma, because your friend is on there and you're not (but probably you want something more from that system also like more friends/sharing/new feature)
- Exiting dilemma,
The company gets take over / bought / closed [GitHub being sold for example or rebranded] and it puts people in jeopardy.
People are expecting more and more to move which is good but still I feel a bit of a surprise is in store... (like where is your data beign stored now do you know? And is Microsoft still a great badge?)
So not hating but while having 'your' material stored away on some servers with 99% uptime, it just takes that business side for it *to go at anytime- down*...
It's fragile basically... or maybe I'm beign alarmist....
Like IF GitHub was for sale...
right....
NOW...
and you didn't know...
... and just found out from a message like this...
... ... ... and they already agreed an offer from Meta / Facebook when you came back from work....
What next?
And where's your code / operations going to go tomorrow?! ! !
" I will still have to use GitHub as I haven't migrated all of my projects away yet, and because many other projects still use and require you to use GitHub for collaboration. I hope that this will improve in the future. "
