Moments from other conversations on the network where GitHub comes up.
“I think for example, a lot of my customers, my biggest customers are cursor and GitHub and folks who are building tools within the space I mentioned earlier, like Century and their Seer tool.”
“I think that it's going to stick around for a while because it's the community around GitHub that's there.”
“So GitHub alone makes over $1 billion a year just from their core Git hosting services, and that's before Copilot, their AI tooling, which makes another couple of billion on top of that.”
“All these things, I think GitHub would have done it themselves, but they missed the boat, I guess.”
