next task is saying bye bye to letting an AI write your blogposts. what's the point

It's not an AI post, but believe what you want.

That did not read like an AI post and anyway it contained a lot of information and points a share! That is the point.

Being the “first(!) post” to complain about AI, correctly or not, is the new street cred.

> I mean, come on. We all look like a bunch of wankers. Please, remember the old times, like the 2000s.

I mean this in the least dismissive way possible, cause I quite like it, but this isn't good enough prose for the average LLM.

So why no self-hosted GitLab then?

IME switching git providers is very hard, especially getting off of github. Most companies have insane numbers of integrations, automations, etc on top of GH. So yeah, its on us, but its also pretty simple algebra: does GH's downtime affect us more than the cost of switching? Most companies the answer is no.

When people ask why people aren't switching to Gitlab, ADO, Bitbucket, etc, I believe this is the reason.

I really do wonder if the disruptions caused by the outages are starting to match the disruptions caused by a migration (which at least has a foreseeable end to it, theoretically).

Like even with the "will somebody please think of the operational costs" aspect, I really do wonder if the good old lock-in extortion math actually still holds in GH's favor.

Maybe for big companies that irresponsibly vendor-locked themselves, but I work at a SMB (~60 employees) and we switched to Forgejo in a couple days

I would not call it irresponsible. If you have a big, long running project you're going to want to develop complex pipelines and build processes to help with development and testing. This will save a lot of time and create a more consistent workflow, but switching vendors can require redoing work that was built over years.

A vanilla git server works great too.
