    I was a backend developer for a startup company where:

    • Windows servers without any firewall and security hardening.
    • Docker swarm without WSL. We had to use 4 GB Windows base images for 50MB web apps.
    • MSSQL without any replication and backups.
    • Redis installed on Windows via 3rd-party tool that looked like a 2010 era keygen generator.
    • A malware exploited the Redis * what a surprise * and kept killing processes to mine crypto on CPU…
    • VPS provider forgot to activate new Windows Server on production and it kept restart for every 30 minutes until I checked the logs and notified them about the missing license.

    I left there after 6 months.

    GitHub constantly becomes more bloated, clunky and privacy/license concerning AI BS. It almost feels like using 2010 TFS server with git flavor. Unfortunately, It has a huge user base and it’s hard to incentivize people to use other platforms.

    It’s easier for well-established projects to host their own git infrastructure. But for new projects and solo developer, it harder to get interaction on other platforms. I think that’s why even Gitea team uses GitHub as a main location for development. Similarly, I still mirror my public repositories to GitHub for the same reasons even though I prefer using my own Gitea server.
