compute??

Github is struggling because of compute, which comes from everyone vibecoding and triggering actions 10x more.

I can vibecode an alternative, but once i have users, who is going to secure this amount of compute? Compute+talent to manage it(devops isnt vibecoded *yet) is a moat

Why care about making a commercial alternative? I just want a “forge” for my team that looks like a combination of GitHub and tangled (stacked PRs and JJ).

So I’m working on waza.sh. I have NO intent on making it commercial, nor open-source (unless someone wants to collab on it).

Will it need compute? Yes! For my team only. So a dedicated box at OVH/Hetzner for 30eu is more than sufficient.

lol do you not have actual stuff to prioritize for your team rather than re inventing forges? there are quite a few open source alternatives if you want something quick. Fork them. No need to re invent the wheel

$COMPANY is on Github now, thinking of moving to Codeberg/Forgejo.

This is a personal pet project, just to see what it might look like, how it would work, to satisfy personal curiosity. If it comes to the point that it actually becomes usable for the team (read: actually add value), then it's up to $TEAM to decide whether to use it or not.

I would hate my team to waste company time on such an endeavour. ;-)
