> In my opinion, every commerical software development team using Go should be using custom domains for namespacing their internal libraries and packages.
I’d remove “go” from the above, i.e. I think same applies to other stacks.
Even using GitHub domain links in code comments gets problematic long term. Ie when a migration happens and those links start pointing nowhere.
I'm confused by the article, and this comment, treating these URLs as difficult to replace.
Why can't you just search-and-replace? Presumably all of them refer to "GitHub.com" and not much else code will, so I'd think this was an exceptionally easy case.
Even easier for comments, since them being obsolete for a few hours during a migration doesn't exactly break anything.
