Well, yeah. It is a good service. They've contributed good stuff to Git core, too.

I really wonder what they do. I have some complicated feelings about them, also, that has to do with them becoming the central hub for open source.

Like, if the product itself were open source, it might be more obvious what they are working on. But I can't demand that kind of transparency... It would just be interesting to know.

With almost 500 employees, what happens? I've never even worked at such a large company myself.

Should GitHub users have some say in what the company builds? I mean, we're promoting them like hell, and the social network is a huge part of their value.

I often wonder what well-funded large product companies do with all their manpower. Feature development doesn't seem to scale. Nor innovative design. GitHub's mobile layout is pretty crippled. I dunno. Just curious.
