These guys produce an entire awesome startup's worth of development every couple months. Definitely need to be paying more attention to the how of what they do. Luckily Tom's quite the excellent speaker and writer. When he talks, I listen.

Issues went from almost nothing to a full featured issue management system on one step. I really like how everything is integrated with commits.

I just got a GitHub paid account, not because I need private repos but because the company is so darn awesome.

I agree. As soon as I can afford to, I am doing the same. This is definitely a service, that I don't necessarily use a lot now, but if they went away I think the industry would suffer for it.

Everything they do inspires me to continue pressing on.

I don't totally agree with the "almost nothing". I was already using them for all my project and it was just enough for me. The second you have labels, you can mostly do any arbitrary complex structures.. But yeah, for medium to big project, that would not have been enough. Now with the new issues system, it might work.

Scott Chacon is also excellent in this area. He was a Codemash keynote presenter in January of this year. He talked specifically on how GitHub is organized, how they decide what to build next and how they get those things done.
