      It's easy to see the productivity leak when a centralized service goes down and everyone kvetches on HN or Slack or Reddit about the service

      It's harder to see the productivity leak when every developer burns 30 minutes a week with e.g. gitosis or similar.

      "Problems are not only problems when they are highly visible" and "High visibility does not generally compound impact" are old insights.

      I can't fail to note that nobody ever criticizes git for encouraging SPOFs, which it does. (Come at me, Internets.)

      The product vision for git is unusable for development as practiced by 9X% of developers worldwide; this guarantees lucrative SPOF bandaid.

      If git was as usable out of the box by mere mortals as e.g. MS Excel, Github might not be systemically important infra.

          This is one of the central problems we’re trying to solve with @conveyorhq. https://wildbit.com/blog/2017/03/08/conveyor-a-focus-on-git …

          Unfortunately, for companies a single canonical repository of code is important and will be the SPOF.

          In the Linux development workflow that central repository is Linus' computer, so of course everything is optimized around that.

          Every time GitHub goes down people criticize others for relying on it singly.
