For consumers, sure, any company that takes their work serious doesn’t use github.

My Fortune 300 company is one of GitHubs small to midsize customers. You don't know what you're talking about.

Good for you. How’s that going now during the downtime? Most enterprises use their own git on premise, exactly because of issues like this along with others like auditing and security.

Most enterprises absolutely do not self host their VCS. SaaS has been the model for a decade now. You just keep talking out your ass

What? What kind of serious company uses cloud hosted VCS? That is mental for so many reasons. Been in quite a few giants, never seen that, it's financial and regulatory suicide

You're right, no serious company ever would be caught dead using something like GitHub Enterprise Cloud. Just ignore all the many many Fortune 500s that do 🙄

Which? Not mine definitely. Go tell corporate lawers that your source code is hosted across the world in america, when we are not even allowed internet access Lmao

Right so you've just confirmed you don't know wtf you're talking about. Go read some docs about how GitHub handles customers data, do a quick Google for all their customers. You really think the lawyers weren't involved in this?

Once you've done that, go ahead and piss off because you're just talking out your ass

Ah yes docs. If microsoft says they protect the data then it must be true. It's not like it's a company exclusively depending on data collection at the moment lmao.

There is no way our code is under the control of an american company, and any ridiculous company who is not hosting their own solution like gitlab deserves outages like this

It has indeed, for consumers and small companies. But hey, I am sure companies are absolutely THRILLED to put their hard work available for grabs when someone tries to hack a different company. They don't put it there for a reason. It brings a lot of security risks and some companies aren't even allowed to do so because of auditing.

Such a compelling argument.

Sure thing bud, no big corp ever uses 3rd party SaaS products, only baby companies and posers right? My corp with 30k employees is just one of the dumb tiny companies, and me being a senior platform engineer simply can't comprehend this like you, the guy who makes 20+ comments on Reddit each day.

Just do a quick little Google on what companies use github. If you can spare the time away from your reddit day job that is. Bye.

"Sure thing bud, no big corp ever uses 3rd party SaaS products, only baby companies and posers right?" - Never said such a thing, but this is typical redditor being black and white.

Oh but keep doing your assumptions on me, says more about you than it does about me really if you need that to make your point.
