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 tmux lasted

  • Terminal multiplexers are infrastructure for people who live on SSH.
  • It replaced GNU Screen for a lot of users without a marketing department.
