Code is speech, and if you aren't allowed to run the code, what good is it being being available or free? Any "regulations" would start by restricting code, it's no different from saying writers need a lot of regulations because of dangerous or badly written text/books/publications has caused a lot of damage.

Thousands of microservices = thousands deployments that can fail, that needs to kept compatible, that needs to be able to find each other, that needs to be monitored. This is just pushing the pain downwards.

Cool thing about gitolite is that you manage it using text files and committing to the gitolite admin git repository.
We were using it until we grew tired of not having a web view to comment and review patches so we switched to gitea.

Not really, jealous is defined as envious (being envious is one of the definitions of being jealous).
For common usage they are equivalent, e.g. I'm jealous of X is the same as I'm envious of X.

The real reason people do it:

No amount of hand-wringing is going to change that.

It may be harmful to someone if shared and sent with malicious intent, but more damage has been done with pens, keyboard and words. Start banning pens that let people write hurtful things next. Ban Photoshop after because someone can get hurt with a manipulated image.
