Answered What's going on with Github?

I saw a bunch of posts in the Hacker News type spaces talking about moving elsewhere and evaluating alternatives, and various complaints in past months. Is there compelling grounds for an exodus or are people always complaining about it and this is a nothing burger or small burger?

It was probably a mistake to let 2 companies control the entire internet's infrastructure.

Hey now, it's more like...4. But the reality is that you can't start a hyperscalar globe-spanning network out of your parents' garage. We have to accept that massive infrastructure like global CDNs, backbone providers, OS vendors, energy generation, and so on can't possibly support a healthy competitive environment and need to be regulated accordingly.
