And we all know self-hosted software never goes down.
Although I guess the benefit is that the CTO gets a psychological lift of looking over Jeremy from IT's shoulder when he tries to fix the issue rather than being at the mercy of some engineers which the company can't fire.
People like to make it sound like running your own server/service is impossible - completely forgetting that's how everything was done not that long ago.
Some wiz-bang new graduates calling themselves Engineers probably haven't a clue - sure, but for everyone else, you probably still have folks employed that did just that on a professional level.
It's not hard - and often it's less expensive. Particularly for a turn-key paid product like Github Enterprise or GitLab.

I always wondered if some % of GitHub orgs move to Gitlab when this happens.
I'd be interested to see if there is any correlation there.
Yeah, because Gitlab would never go down.

Gitlab can be self hosted

I've been running self-hosted software, and GitLab in particularly, for over a decade at various jobs.
It almost never goes down. It fact, its up way way way more often that GitHub!
as can Github: https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-server@3.5/admin/overv...
