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 Kubernetes lasted

  • Google donated the Borg-shaped idea and every cloud had to speak it.
  • It is ugly YAML and it won anyway, which is how you know it is infrastructure.
