The GitHub Platform Era Is Over
Read OriginalThis article argues that the era of building developer tools on top of GitHub's API is ending. While GitHub itself remains dominant due to user lock-in, the author claims that GitHub's API support and reliability have degraded, making it risky for third-party tools to depend on GitHub's primitives. The author, from a company that builds on GitHub, provides evidence such as undocumented features, slow bug fixes, and unresponsive support. The piece concludes that the trust necessary for a healthy ecosystem has eroded, signaling a shift away from the GitHub platform model.
