Github more than a code repository is a social network for coders, and it has the first mover advantage… making people move from that is dificult (facebook still being used nowadays after all), but also its not impossible.

The problem is the storage… you still need a way to cheaply store all that eneegy to use at night, otherwise you still need all the other options like aeolic… anyway, its allways better to deversify instead of putin all your eggs in one basket

Reading your post just made me remember my php journey 20 years ago… I miss that days but I cant imagine myself not using some framework nowadays… I use to build the wheel everytime I started a project
