I couldn't agree more with phk's article. I've never read Brooks's
books, though. Time to catch up. Just ordered both of them ("The
Mythical Man Month" and "The Design of Design").

I needed access to some private Git repositories on my computer at
work. GitHub, where I store almost everything, does not offer private
repos, though. I thought of creating an account at BitBucket but that
page feels terribly slow and "Atlassianized".

Thus, I set up cgit on my own server and added password protection. A
matter of minutes.

Some moments ago, I discovered myself adding more and more repos to my
cgit. Wait a minute -- why did I do that? It's because I can. It's
easy. I have full control over what I'm doing. It's my data, it's my
server. I'm in charge.

I realized that, on GitHub, I feel awfully "watched". There's a
timeline of everything I do. This bothers me.

Plus, GitHub is harder to use than my own cgit instance. Hosting a
repo on my server is just a matter of "git clone --mirror ..."
whereas on GitHub I have to dig through a website...

GitHub has its benefits but I'm tempted to move all my stuff to my own
server. Hmm.
