On: How and why we teach non-engineers to use GitHub at Thread

That sounds great, but I believe you will find it to be too expensive if your company grows bigger.

Maybe. I don’t think we pay per user on GitHub (we might still be on legacy pricing). I expect we might move to internal GitLab in the long term.

I'm really digging all your engagement in these comments. I also like the attitude of the Thread engineering revealed in this piece. Very sensible dudes over there by the sounds of it. I'd savor the day when source control is common knowledge across many domains.

We're hiring :)

> Very sensible dudes

We also care deeply about diversity and are trying to improve our gender balance, so I'd strongly encourage any women or people of other groups traditionally under-represented in tech who might be reading this to apply, even if you don't feel you meet the requirements for the job.

gitlab, or self hosted git?

[Myrmornis → exabrial]

There's no mention of Gitlab in the article.

Github private repos for business and Github Enterprise are the same price: https://github.com/pricing

[exabrial → Myrmornis]

You said Github prices were too expensive. Gitlab can be self-hosted for free with unlimited repositories.

[Myrmornis → exabrial]

Yes I absolutely agree, that is an option that I would look into if I were a CTO/whatever.
