FWIW, graphite.dev's MQ supports GitHub Enterprise Server
1 comments

Just looked at graphite.dev and it looks like it only works with Github.

Wild that an entire product can exist that depends on another commercial SaaS offering to have any value at all. That feels absurdly risky to me. Like, I am getting anxiety from the thought of working on that product.

Then again, I guess AWS exists and we all make our peace with it.

We really don’t like solid foundations do we.

It’s risky but at the same time it allows creating a significant spike of value without spreading thin.

Like, github PRs are pretty shit, which is an opportunity for reviewable.

I've used a bunch of VCS's and managed solutions, and PR's are probably the _best_ I've had the pleasure of using. Working with perforce, everyone is one (or a small number) of long lived branch(es), chucking around WIP code as shelves. PlasticSCM/Unity DevOps Version Control (seriously, that's what they renamed it to) provides absolutely no support for a merge-based workflow other than some half-baked tools that barely work.

That is genuinely sad.

Could you suggest something better then?
GitHub's market share percentage is a multiple of AWS's — and also, GitHub is just the beginning for us!

Isn't it all built (run?) on sand?
