Putting the vast majority of git repos on one platform was a terrible idea

@phi1997 @dangoodin fortunately git is open and distributed with every clone. Hopefully people arenโ€™t using GitHub CI or issues. Probably some git actions to jenkinsfiles transpilers are being written already.

git itself could be hacked someday soon to insert malicious code.

And compilers, text editors, etc.

Compilers that insert malicious code have been tested. If disassemblers and debuggers are also hacked, you'd never know.

A writer of SF once predicted computers which had normal memory for data and hardware-protected memory for code (both RAM and disks were segregated thusly.)

programmers and their specially-made code-writable computers were kept under lock and key and carefully monitored... like a printers and printing presses under Nazi Germany or USSR-controlled East Germany.

Obviously, networks were also forbidden to normal users.

Another reason why huge monolithic servers are a bad idea. They are a single point of attack with potentially huge rewards for bad guys.
