Left GitLab for GitHub after today's crash

I host my own GitLab instance - if it goes down all I have is myself to blame - and honestly with their pre-packaged software it's super simple. And took me another 15 minutes to get the GitLab CI workers running. I also mirror to GitHub for public projects.

GitLab ran into an issue many startups do - they grew very rapidly and didn't hire enough people. They make a fantastic piece of open source software, and the self-hosted version will continue to serve as my main Git server, but seeing as they've had so many issues with their hosted platform, I will be weary for some time to come.

I'm not disputing that...but like I mentioned in the post; I'm ruthless not spending time on things that aren't our core service. I don't host our own mail either, I pay for GSuite :-P.

As a business, I completely agree - streamlining to focus on what matters. As a individual person, I am also the kind who hosts my own mail server - and, well, everything else <- Not a fan of the NSA.
