Ah, the Performance Hints of 2023, where tech gods Jeff and Sanjay smugly remind us mortals how they optimized Google's code ✨ back when dinosaurs roamed the data centers. Apparently, they believe if they keep toggling navigation long enough, their brilliance will rub off on us. 🦖💻

From SourceForge to GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and AWS CodeCommit — code hosting platforms shaped how we build, share and collaborate.

In my latest recap article in this series I explore their rise, struggles and impact on dev culture.

Do you remember the time when @google thought that hosting #opensource projects as a service was a good idea?

Maybe looking at #GoogleCode for good old projects, managed through #svn , bring you good old memories.

Yes you can do it.... at @swheritage archive. Check https://archive.softwareheritage.org/browse/search/?q=googlecode.com&visit_type=svn&with_content=true&with_visit=true

It is like going back in time, I know. Looking ahead, by the way.... will @GitHub live forever?

I have just synced a #googlecode issue list to my local disk using #sd. Now for some cleanup. Tomorrow, to think about push

Whee. I have a P2P bug tracker with a decent CLI that can sync to #rt, #hiveminder, #trac, #github and #googlecode. I think I may win.

Starting slowmotion shutdown of #github #smxi repos, first step made last commit to active development branch inxi-perl, where #pinxi lives. The old file will remain for a while, so you can update using -U and get that, then you have to update -U again to be current. I'd been commiting to gh to keep pinxi current, no more.

Unraveling a code repo is a pain, but as now #googlecode and gh have taught, relying on proprietary code repos is just a bad idea, thanks @Codeberg for making this possible.

If #github goes out of business or gets shut down (remember #gotdotnet #codeplex #googlecode etc) ... it's going to be like the burning of the Library of Alexandria.
