I love github. And I also think it'd be awesome if some of these haters put their heads together and made something positive on DAT/IPFS that could replace github altogether. They could include features for bug/feature bounties, better project management tools, etc.

Like come on, don't just gripe about it, make something cool... the time is now! And in order for you to make something that's actually cool, I hope you can pull your head out of your butt and acknowledge that github was amazing for its time. Recognize what makes github awesome. It's not the fancy project management stuff. It's the simplicity and focus of the open ended, social, collaborative platform. It lowered the bar. It made it easy to jump in, no matter how much clout or recognition you had. It made it normal to fork a project off the bat, in case you accidentally found yourself fixing a bug or wanting to make a little feature change.

So yeah, github is awesome and it's getting old. Let's appreciate it and get to the next level.
