github isn't a replacement?

[laumars]

Yes, if the code is on Github. However not everyone who publishes code uses Github (myself included)

[bduerst]

Why not? (I'm genuinely interested here - not trying to snark)

[ilovesatan]

Because not everyone here is the teenage girl version of a programmer who only goes after the newest fad without taking in account the actual features of a system and practical implications of promoting a monopoly.

[laumars]

I can set up my own git repositories so I have no need for github.

[sotiris-k]

not everyone used Google Code either. What's your point?

[tedunangst]

Code Search searched a lot more than just what was stored on Google. What's your point?

[aniket_ray]

I think his point was that Code and Code Search are/were different products.
