Prepare now for github breaking github pages, links to gists and links to code: backup your git repos and paste important code snippets into a blog post

Pontifications

Of all the silos I use, Flickr has had the best run at not breaking things. Their API works but little things have broken over time like their datetaken dateuploaded urls, embedding has changed, etc
How best to prepare for the coming github breakage :-) ? No disrespect intended to github but it’s a fact, it will happen!
- For github pages you are covered since you have the files in git on your computer or in a cloud you control.
- For gists, I would say copy and paste the code into a blog post on your domain.
- For links to code like yesterday, I would copy and paste the entire code here and again make sure your git repo is backed up!
