GitHub changed the world of open-source.
In the beginning it brought together the disconnected programmers who always wanted to work on something with other like-minded people.
In the present it's no longer the foreground. Businesses and professionals connect and the profiles become a bragging ground.
The GH PR system is stretched to its limits. During the early days this was ok: PRs were few and far between. It worked.
I've changed, and so has GitHub. As I grow older I care more about my impact and personal data responsibility. I care about FOSS work being used for profit.
This is one step in a series towards real code and data ownership (again).
I don't believe GitHub is inherently evil, or bad, but it is having interesting consquences for existing! What I've done is simply a response to its evolution.
I will continue to use GitHub, and even promote GitHub, for certain cases.
Read you later!
