+ [2019-10-17T16:19:36Z] foo R2robot: again, really appreciate you helping me think through this!
+ [2019-10-17T16:16:59Z] foo one here wants to sell out, get investment, or IPO, this is a lifestyle business... which probably is even more convincing to use github
+ [2019-10-17T16:16:53Z] foo R2robot: good point, there are other points too actually - which is (since I have looked into that dynamic) - if someone else even stole it, what is done with is what's actually matters. And more often than not, someone else understanding a code base, the time, etc... for that to really be worth it... would take a lot of time and $. And the odds of getting that big? Heck, I doubt we'd ever get that big. No
+ [2019-10-17T16:14:14Z] foo R2robot: that's true, I guess I could start on github too, and then move it off if it made sense... that's another possibility worth mentioning. :) Again, thank you!
+ [2019-10-17T16:13:09Z] foo R2robot / Soliton - thank you both for helping me think through this a bit, I am grateful.
+ [2019-10-17T16:10:50Z] foo Soliton: thank you for sharing, that's very helpful.
+ [2019-10-17T16:10:41Z] foo R2robot: ... yes. I used to rack servers, and we had physical control over "that was our hardware". I did cave and use Digital Ocean droplets, heh. So, I guess that's one indicator of me letting go.
+ [2019-10-17T16:09:56Z] foo Soliton: since it'd be private repo, definitely not looking for network effects. The main reason I wanted to challenge my thinking on this was because github seems to have the least friction to use (less my control brain of not putting our closed-source core offering as a private repo on a third party provider)
+ [2019-10-17T16:07:00Z] foo R2robot: I'd be curious to know if anything else comes to mind, otherwise those are some great points.
+ [2019-10-17T16:06:45Z] foo To Soliton's point, if I had to guess, a lot of very well known reputable companies trust github with their codebase (but I could be mistaken)
+ [2019-10-17T16:06:27Z] foo R2robot: This is the exact type of reasoning and convincing I'm interested in. Again, thank you for helping me (live with myself? :P).
+ [2019-10-17T16:03:50Z] foo I was going to look into self-hosted bitbucket/gitlab ... but wanted to challenge my thinking one more time on github.
+ [2019-10-17T16:03:28Z] foo R2robot: yeah, yeah, we're all on a remote team and it's up to me to find where to put our code baes. We've generally been using gitolite and code review in a Slack channel. It's worked, for our primary codebase (and 2-3 other small projects we work on).
+ [2019-10-17T16:02:13Z] foo If it wasn't I'd definitely be more open to private repo on github
+ [2019-10-17T16:01:56Z] foo Soliton: ... yeah, that's basically it. Our "flagship" (which is still really early) is closed source.
+ [2019-10-17T16:00:17Z] foo R2robot: (thanks for asking)
+ [2019-10-17T16:00:13Z] foo R2robot: yes. (I am willing to accept a smack, I'm generally "put over the edge" with reasoning that outreasons my own reasons, haha)
+ [2019-10-17T15:48:03Z] foo pro-Github, attempt to share some reasoning to put me over the edge? It seems like the easiest option but my controlling-brain isn't fully accepting the idea.
+ [2019-10-17T15:47:57Z] foo If I have the option between Github and BitBucket, my "default state" is BitBucket - self hosted. I like to host our own stuff... although, very small team (3), very few projects, one of them is our "flagship" product (which is still very early and generating little-to-no-significant revenue). I can A) spend time on BitBucket, or B) use Github (and let go of control, private repo). Can anyone here, who is
