GitHub Raises $250M at $2B Valuation

Any CTO signing off on $37,500USD a year for 150 developers, when you can get unlimited developers on Bitbucket for $2,400, probably needs to be fired.

I see you have not had much experience with large companies; $37k is nothing there are line managers who can sign off on amounts larger than this :-)

An ability to sign off more than that does not mean it's a good use of company money.

Are you sure?

The price of the Github's service is ~$20.8 per developer per month. This is about 10-30 minutes of developers time worth per month. Adapting to Bitbucket's workflow and learning its UI would take much more time.

If you've hired a developer for whom using Bitbucket instead of Github takes 10-30 minutes more effort a month, you need to rereview your hiring process.

I am not sure anyone actually hiring would take this advice seriously.
