Why GitHub lasted

  • It is where the code is. Resume, package registry, CI, identity, and the social graph of software.
  • Microsoft bought it and, against every instinct of 2018 Twitter, did not kill it.

Why jQuery lasted

  • It is still on a terrifying number of pages because WordPress plugins and old dashboards never die.
  • The $() brain is how a generation learned the DOM.
