Kind of sad to see GitHub doesn't use GitHub itself to deploy and monitor their releases.
I believe the value of dogfooding would be immense. Not only could you become the customer (massive reduction to the deploy/measure feedback loop), but it would be a key marketing move.
On top of that, the GUI that will now require critical care and development is essentially a clone of what is offered by Github Actions.
It also makes sense internally. Our actions team is much larger than the team that manages the project I wrote/lead, so it also makes logistical sense IMO
We also started before the CD product was ready on actions and we directly influenced it, so yea haha
If cost price is £5 and the markup is 20%, he has to pay £6 to get the part, then charge £7.20 on the invoice to the customer. I’ll let you guess what that does to tender bids ;-)
My uncle’s team was having none of that, so they paid an external computer repair service to fix their computers. The external repair service subcontracted to compaq’s internal people anyway, so when their computers broke they called up (and paid) external consultants. Who in turn called compaq’s internal support team, who came downstairs and fixed their computers at a competitive price.
Consulted for a sub-sub-sub-subsidiary of Toshiba. All computer equipment had to be from Toshiba - the closest place to get Toshiba laptops was two COUNTRIES over.
They even had to tape over non-Toshiba branding from external displays that would be visible.
And Github will definitely still have to "pay" for Teams, whether that is internal accounting or actual money being exchanged.
My guess is that github was using slack before they were bought and inertia is a thing. I'm sure there are people within the parent company that would like to see them transition, but I'm sure there's a ton of resistance, especially "on the ground" at github. Buyouts are a delicate thing, they don't want to ruin github by trying to force it to change too quickly.
More then likely it's because that's what they used before they got bought and haven't been forced to migrate over yet, they also seem to have bots, which are not really a direct copy and paste into MS Teams, and likely them converting over isn't a high priority.
