Ok.

Move to EC2.

Darn AWS is down.

Alright, run it on a Mac Mini in your basement. Ahh dawn, your ISP is having issues. Good thing you have a backup 5G hotspot.

Ohh no, the power is out.

Eventually you have to trust someone else.

GitHub is a tragedy of the Commons. Too many people are using it, and Microsoft isn't willing to handle it correctly.

Feels like a very good business opportunity. Minimum 50k yearly contracts, GitHub with actual uptime. GitPro ?

Maybe we need a split between source management and distribution? The former looks like git[hub] to me, the latter maybe more like a Linux distro repo?
