The conspiracy about how much infrastructure has been going down this summer, and how it's probably interns / a state actor / people pushing to get things in production before performance reviews / people being on holiday / that we've reached peak complexity.

Seriously though this summer has been unusually bad ceteris paribus right? We need a State of the SaaS address.

Give us some credit: it's the best 2019 we've had so far!

Alright, cue the usual: Monoculture bad Microsoft bad Git is distributed but all the things around it that we really need aren't You can set up git to push to multiple remotes automatically Nobody is actually using git in distributed mode Did I forget anything?

If GitHub actually had an open source version, then I could selfhost on infrastructure that I trust.

Wait till you hear about Phabricator! It was a Facebook tool that got open sourced and then the devs spun out their own company to provide paid support and whatnot. But you can just self-host it and frankly, it's glorious.

The usual fluff about migrating away to Gitlab?

Irony of ironies. Gitlab's import-from-GitHub functionality has been broken ever since we tried to migrate away. (They're going ot fix it soon.)

I'm sorry you had a bad experience with this.

The importer can still get better but we're importing about 500 projects per hour at peak https://www.dropbox.com/s/hr3ndcmu21aehmk/Screenshot%202019-...

I actually have, and even better it can easily be setup with Helm on a Kubernetes cluster:

You forgot my favorite: senior people leaving for greener/less stressful pastures.

Bitbucket is pretty good

Bitbucket suffers from all the usual problems of an Atlassian-product: A badly designed user-interface, and frequent stability/downtime problems.

Problem 1 with Atlassian is they're using Java.

Problem 2 with Atlassian is that their portfolio is entirely made up out of stuff they bought up over years, with wildly different coding and UI/UX standards/history.

If you want a complete solution that mostly works, then yes. However, I think there is a lot of benefit in tools like Phabricator, or rolling your own SCM with Gitea and implementing Drone CI.
