It’s amusing seeing all the “[project] is moving off of GitHub” posts on Hacker News lately. When I first started there, HN had near-constant “[project] is moving to GitHub!” posts. It’s the life of software. Improve or die.

I see endless people dragging WNBA & NWSL teams for “losing money” (“the NBA is subsidizing the WNBA”, etc)… but the Yankees, Clippers, Mets, Everton, Barcelona, etc aren’t losing money… they’re “investing in the club”.
