I don't expect it for start-ups and for bootstraping, but for established companies. Source code is one of your most precious resources.
@Deleted User It still depends. I've worked at companies where code wasn't there most precious resource and they were fairly large and a bitbucket account is still better than a sourcesafe box that isn't regularly backed up and nobody knows where the box physically lives (probably some old PC sitting under someone's desk).
Also if the place isn't a dev shop or doesn't have a large in house dev team, it is almost impossible to get accounts and the rest of the business to spend money on you, so again something free and cheap is better than nothing at all.
Even some of the big boys don't do stuff particularly well, the only reason there was a starcraft 4k upgrade was because someone found the assets on a CD in someone's basement
i.e. Blizzard had lost the code and the assets to SC1 back around 2000 and had been issuing patches probably using a fucking hex editor
I worked at companies that had all those stuff in-house. I can get it for start-ups and very small companies. In case of the others, it is laziness and cheapness.
I don't talk about a kubernetes cluster in-house.
Maybe in some cases, but other times there is usually just a few web devs and a support tech that are just trying to do their best. Things are rarely perfect. It just is how it is sometimes.
thats small, I had univresity course projects with more team members.
@Deleted User same here. But the rest of the business can be quite large and there are just a few folks doing thing like websites, IT admin stuff etc. It really depends.
For example I used to contract at a place where the head of IT was a guy that came up from punchcards. He knew his stuff about managing things like service desks etc, but he didn't know about newer stuff and was reluctant to sign off on it (quite understandably) unless there was an official consultant round from a vendor. So the trick with him was "Well the official documentation from <insert software vendor> recommends".
Making carte blanche statements like "You should be doing" while you might be correct in a broader sense, sometimes just improving stuff a little bit can help loads.
TL;DR; rome wasn't built in a day and sometimes it is better to ease people into it
I never stated that, I said "should" not "must".
@Deleted User I know, I was just explaining my reasoning to you.
I want it!
@franti @Deleted User I finished it 😂

Nice meme @meratrix
Infinite wisdom gives you all of the other ones. smh my head 😤
I'm really upset about GitHub being acquired by Microsoft
I'm not a CopyLeft guy, however I do back them in this case, as GitHub was this great platform to share open code projects
I think GitHub shat on everyone with that buyout.
Microsoft is the worst company to run a open source community.
I bet freenode is on fire right now
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I never liked GitHub
I personally found GitHub useful.
Jenkins, GitLab, and other build or code-repository services lacked in proper design.
I will say GitHub is a well-done and well-established service and community.
Their business model strongly encouraged open-sourcing projects. Microsoft buying this sends a strong message that this will no longer be a priority.
