I love almost eveything GitHub does, and the way they do them. I'm a GitHub fanboy. There it is.
I had a similar crush on Google, maybe 6-7 years ago, they lost me somewhere on the road.

I think they lost a lot of us as soon as the G+ train started rolling.
Re: How GitHub No Longer Works
#13I've found it interesting how many people in the Bay Area, particularly veterans of the 90s boom, discount a lot of the ideas pushed by GitHub and 37signals. Anedotally, one of the common responses whenever I reference either company is, "Yeah, but how big is [GitHub|37signals], really?" It's actually somewhat surprising to me how consistently I've encountered this response (so consistent, it feels as if it was distr…
>> staging servers so non-technical staff can check the work of "their" developers
Surely staging servers have some other benefits? Maybe some teams consider running code on the production setup for the first time to be risky to their customers? Perhaps some teams have encountered differences between dev laptops and production servers, which run on different OS/memory/etc. combinations?

Speaking of the Google analogy, I hope they do more with their acquisitions of Speaker Deck and gaug.es, as I can't recall a single feature being added or improved since their acquisitions.

Their enterprise license is pretty comparable in price to something like Perforce, which does not include hosting. Do you also find Atlassian's Stash pricing to be high?

If you are so fed up with them, why not host an internal Git service with gitolite for user access rules [1]. You could even add something like gitweb as a web interface for git/gitolite [2]. Or, better yet, use something like GitLab [3].

#20Love these talks from Zach Holman. Brilliant work happening at GitHub, of course. Seeing the rise of the "primarily responsible person" is huge for us in our small company - we've found it's natural to work this way, without a label. Keep on putting out these fantastic slides, Zach.
Admittedly I'm cynical, but how is a "primarily responsible person" different from a lead developer? It feels a bit like you're just calling things different to avoid manager-like names.
