HashiCorp co-founder says GitHub is 'no longer a place for serious work' | Hacker News

A Hacker News thread around a HashiCorp co-founder sparked criticism that GitHub is becoming too unstable for serious engineering work.

Commenters said frequent product changes and reliability concerns are pushing some projects toward self-hosted alternatives like Forgejo or other platforms.

The debate also focused on GitHub’s network effects, Microsoft’s role, and whether teams should depend on GitHub for critical development.

Some participants argued that companies should diversify or migrate CI/CD and hosting tools, rather than treating GitHub as a single point of failure.
