"GitHub is the place that has made me the most happy. I always made time for it. When I went through tough breakups? I lost myself in open source... on GitHub. During college at 4 AM when everyone is passed out? Let me get one commit in. During my honeymoon while my wife is still asleep? Yeah, GitHub. It's where I've historically been happiest and wanted to be.

Even the annoying stuff! Some people doom scroll social media. I've been doom scrolling GitHub issues since before that was a word. On vacations I'd have bookmarks of different projects on GitHub I wanted to study. Not just source code, but OSS processes, how other maintainers react to difficult situations. Etc. Believe it or not, I like this."

Ghostty is leaving GitHub. I'm GitHub user 1299, joined Feb 2008. I've visited GitHub almost every single day for over 18 years. It's never been a question for me where I'd put my projects: always GitHub. I'm super sad to say this, but its time to go. https://t.co/DQDemHdytV

You're right. I'm conflating things.
You're right. Let me recheck.
You're right. I'm sorry. Let me stop speculating and actually read the code that crashed.
There it is. The actual root cause:
You're right.
Yes, I did say that and I was wrong.

[Mitchell Hashimoto @mitchellh]

Now I understand the full picture.
The cleanest fix is...
But actually, the real fix simpler...
Actually wait.
The best fix:
Now the real fix.
Actually, let me reconsider.
OK
Key finding:
Wait

Thursday night in the East Village. Hinge matches making out in the street. I am alone, of course, out on my nightwalk. But I've seen this all before so it doesn't affect me.
