#22Git can be hosted over ssh or filesystem. I moved to self hosting git. Now it’s always up, go figure!

I think there are a large number of people I’d trust with my code before Musk, and some of them are already running public Git repo hosting.
xAI was caught uploading any repo their coding agent touched to their storage only last month. This isn’t about Musk’s ideology: it’s about his trustworthiness. He sincerely believes he’s the only person who can save the world and that allows him to justify an awful lot of moral lapses.

Are you interested in integrating with more CI platforms, including less "traditional" ones, like dagger.io? If so I would love to talk :)

#25I would never host my code with Elon Musk. I've also moved on from using Cursor to Claude Code/Codex. GitHub has problems, but this is likely (and hopefully) DOA.

#26Cursor is allegedly worth $60B. That is a higher market cap than Mercedes Benz group, which is profitable and has $144B revenue.
But the website uses 100% CPU. And this is a beta for paid plans, not a GitHub alternative.

#28Let's see how strong GitHub's network effect really is. While the real solution is to actually self-host as I said before [0], it is worth testing to see how much can GitHub's users tolerate the endless outages and unreliability and where they go next. We'll see if they want Cursor Origin or the declining GitHub. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49331922

I don't want either tbh. There's plenty of open source alternatives. If there's anyone I trust less than Microsoft, it's Elon Musk.

#29I expected more than a GitHub clone, this is a bit of a let down.
There's a lot of space to innovate around collaboration and version control in the age of agentic workflows.

#30I was waiting for an AI company to do this. The opportunity to disrupt Github is very apparent right now.
