Your next code forge
Where does your code live today?
*
What else is wired into it — CI, package publishing, issue tracking, deploys?
*
Who on the team decided on that setup, and when was the last time anyone questioned it?
*
What’s the last thing about your forge or CI that made you swear out loud?
*
Have you ever hit a limit, outage, or policy change that actually cost you time or money? What happened?
*
What have you built or bolted on yourself to work around something your current tools don’t do?
*
Have you ever moved a project off one forge to another? What triggered it, and how painful was the migration?
*
Have you looked at GitLab, Gitea/Forgejo, Codeberg, or self-hosting? What stopped you, or why did you go back?
*
If you were to switch tomorrow, what would have to be true — feature parity, an import tool, a specific integration?
*
What are you paying today for source hosting, CI, and registry services combined? Who approves that?
*
When was the last time you paid for a developer tool that wasn’t already in the stack? What made that one worth it?
*
Is there a budget line for this, or does it come out of someone’s card?
*
Does anyone on your team care where the servers are or who can read the repos? Have you ever needed to answer a data-residency or compliance question about it?
*
Have you ever been locked out of something (an account, a repo, a package) by a platform decision you couldn’t appeal?
*
If you could run the whole thing on your own hardware with zero loss of features, would you actually do it, or is hosted-and-someone-else’s-problem the real preference?
*
How do you decide whether a dependency is safe to add? Is there a process, or is it vibes?
*
Have you been bitten by a compromised or abandoned package? What did the cleanup look like?
*
Do you pay for anything in this space today — Socket, Snyk, Dependabot tiers, or a private registry?
*
What’s the one thing that, if a new forge did it, would make you try it for a real project rather than a toy?
*
Thank you for taking the time! Your input will help shape your new favorite place to host code. Please use this space for further comments, contact info, &c. Have a great week!
