   GitHub is almost forever. Your custom domain disappears when you stop paying the bills, which if you’re an open source developer has a higher likelihood than GitHub disappearing.

   One day, we’re all going back to vendoring dependencies.

      Why did we stop vendoring dependencies in the first place?

         I vendor all my Go dependencies all the time for every project. It is the way.

            Has this ever been necessary/useful? Genuinely curious because I’ve been using Go since 2012 and can’t recall a time when vendoring solved a problem better than “regular” modules. Like have there been times when the source went down and the module proxy went down (or didn’t have your dependency cached)?
