  I  couldn't  agree  more  with phk's article. I've never read Brooks's
  books, though. Time to catch up.  Just  ordered  both  of  them  ("The
  Mythical Man Month" and "The Design of Design").

  I  needed  access  to  some private Git repositories on my computer at
  work.  GitHub, where I store almost everything, does not offer private
  repos,  though. I thought of creating an account at BitBucket but that
  page feels terribly slow and "Atlassianized".

  Thus, I set up cgit on my own server and added password protection.  A
  matter of minutes.

  Some moments ago, I discovered myself adding more and more repos to my
  cgit. Wait a minute -- why did I do that? It's  because  I  can.  It's
  easy.  I  have full control over what I'm doing. It's my data, it's my
  server. I'm in charge.

  I realized that, on  GitHub,  I  feel  awfully  "watched".  There's  a
  timeline of everything I do. This bothers me.

  Plus,  GitHub  is  harder  to use than my own cgit instance. Hosting a
  repo on my server is  just  a  matter  of  "git  clone  --mirror  ..."
  whereas on GitHub I have to dig through a website...

  GitHub has its benefits but I'm tempted to move all my stuff to my own
  server. Hmm.
