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.

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

Gitea installs like a Breeze
A vanilla git server works great too.
So why no self-hosted GitLab then?
next task is saying bye bye to letting an AI write your blogposts. what's the point
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.
It's not an AI post, but believe what you want.
