GitHub's Fun CD-ROM Giveaway Twist
0
So, GitHub just hit us with a pretty quirky announcement! They’re offering free CD-ROMs of your public code repos for a limited time, taking a cheeky dig at Sony’s move towards digital-only PS6 games. It’s like they’re saying, “Hey, you can actually keep your code on something physical, and it’s yours forever…until you lose it!” I mean, it’s a bit of a gimmick, but it gets people talking and is a fun throwback to the days of physical media. As someone who's been living the digital life, I can’t help but chuckle—who even has a CD drive anymore? But hey, if you're keen on nostalgia or just want something cool to hang on your wall, this might be worth checking out!
