My thoughts on Ghostty is leaving GitHub: Ghostty is leaving GitHub
Commentary
- Ghostty is leaving GitHub
- This is bad. Oh my god, he has spent almost two decades on GitHub. I might not have lived consciously for that many years.
- Man, this person has breathed and lived through GitHub. I can resonate with the line “When I went through tough breakups, I lost myself in open source... on GitHub”. I have done that to some extent, too. Not at his scale, but when I didn’t get any internships, got rejected in interviews, I found SQLC, Turbot, and a handful of organisations to fill my hunger for learning and programming. GitHub was the center.
- I don’t rely on GitHub since I don’t maintain or do any hustles anymore, just because life is tough and so is the AI hype. I can relate to the outages happening these days. One of my projects flight-observatory, had a few failing actions notifications. I thought it might be 403 or some upstream external API issues, but GitHub was the reason behind it.
