It is a fixed resource for people; everyone dies. Git was fine until it became a way to launder intellectual labor to benefit MSFT shareholders instead of the people who did the work.


> It is a fixed resource for people; everyone dies.

What has dying got to do with it? Everyone dies at different ages and points in time. That’s the opposite of fixed. Again, time isn’t fixed. Even if you sell your time by the hour, not every hour is equally productive.

> Git was fine

You’re once more conflating git the tool and GitHub the service. They’re separate things and in your own link they recommend alternatives to GitHub which use git.

Again, how is that different from what you claim to do? You explicitly said you sell your time to the highest bidder, meaning you’d have done the same if you had been paid for it and thus have no moral high ground. Or you wouldn’t in fact have done it because you have scruples, in which case you don’t really sell your time to the highest bidder but take other factors into account.

You can’t have it both ways. Personally I hope you do the latter.


> What has dying got to do with it?

Because your time is not infinite, and therefore fixed.

> how is that different from what you claim to do?

Because theft under the cover of clickwrap is still theft. This isn't hard.
