It kills me when people build GitHub alternatives that are hosted on GitHub.

As a person who doesn't have to suffer with this condition, I found it immediately valuable. Empathy is best practiced through experience, and I learned what that felt like. So, @geon, thank you.

Yep. It's one of the first things I install on a new machine, via Homebrew Cask.
kevinSuttle··on iOS 9.3 Preview
I think it depends on the application. FastMail's Notes, for instance, depends on which version of Notes you use. https://www.fastmail.com/help/notes/usage.html

Fastmail, pro tip: don't pay any ransom.

kevinSuttle··on Ask HN: What do companies do to protect source code?
No, your source code is not a "crown jewel" or a "trade secret". Without people, infrastructure, environments, and keys, it's just a load of text files.

This is a myth propagated by engineers who overvalue their work.

Also, Google only has 1 REPO, which everyone in the company has access to. http://www.wired.com/2015/09/google-2-billion-lines-codeand-...

I love this response as well: "Assuming you are using Git, that means every developer you employ is running around with a complete repository history of your source code on their laptop. They probably also have internal documents regarding design, product management, etc. Many of them probably use a cloud backup service like Mozy/Dropbox etc. I don't think Github is the weakest link in this chain. That aside, source code is typically far from your most valuable asset, especially if you're a SaaS offering like many startups. What could a competitor do with your code, absent your people and your branding? Even if it were, Github would probably be the least of your security concerns."
