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 Laravel lasted

  • It made PHP feel like a modern framework again: artisan, Eloquent, the docs, the people.
  • Taylor Otwell as a steward plus a conference circuit is a distribution machine.
