The primary reason GitHub was so successful was because they namespaced repos behind the account name. This made it incredibly easy and low pressure to experiment. Sourceforge and others required globally unique project names, which was a huge barrier to trying something new.

Many of the replies here are from people who clearly have no idea just how dominant Google Code was, or how inconvenient and terrible by today's standards, or how revolutionary an improvement on what came before. Or they live in the Linux kernel bubble and haven't left.

Sometimes wonder what would’ve happened to software if GitHub didn’t exist: - Pull requests would not exist - Most code would not be open source by default - Harder to learn ~everything without search - No ⭐️ system to skew tech choices - Git may not have won version control

If git won and GitHub fail: - Code review will be in Gerrit - PR replaced by patchset - issue/bug tracker replaced either by mailing-list or taskwarrior - SourceForge will be home for many OSS code +sourcehut.org is a good example of modernizing git classic workflow

I love everyone who's like "Wow, John Mulaney cheated on his wife!!" because of this baby like y'all... My parents were separated for 12 years before they actually filed for divorce. You do not know this man, chill out.

Pull requests predate Github though.

If you’ve not harmed anyone, there’s nothing to feel shame over, and if you HAVE hurt someone, wallowing in shame is just holding you back from being accountable and actively working to do better. Shame doesn’t serve anyone.

Maybe all colors look different to each of us? Maybe some people have excellent memory of past events, while I couldn’t tell you what I told you five minutes ago 😬 Maybe some people see and hear in fantastic detail in their minds, and some have nothing?

Maybe the color blue tastes like mint to this person or pop music looks like a carnival to another? Maybe some people have fantastic self soothing techniques, but they never tell anyone because they seem silly?

I sometimes wonder what it would be like to really experience living inside of someone else’s brain: - Wow, really? That’s what red looks like to you? And that’s what noise feels like? Oh wow, you feel like this too?? I thought I was weird to feel this way 😅

I go the other way. Wham we’re such legends that they arranged for all of the royalties from Last Christmas go to various charities. Initially famine relief, then others. It is the anti-cash-in-christmas song. So the more I hear it, the happier it makes me. Also George Michael.

It's okay to not be okay, my friends. This is a hard time of the year. One holiday season seven years ago, I was suicidal. I bottled it all in. The holidays are tough. Talk to someone you can vent at. Just vent. It's all okay.

Two gentle reminders: 1. Everyone has different priorities.Some employers dont't give ppl a chance to learn new things on the job. They have to grow on their own time. And getting that next job is a priority. 2. Don't tell people how to spend their break. Peace!

A lot of people in my timeline promoting programming, reading, taking courses, etc over the break. Stop the hustle culture.
