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 Transmit lasted

  • Panic makes Mac software like objects. Transmit is the FTP client as a piece of furniture.
  • Designers and shops still have it because it is the nice way to talk to a bucket.
