Codeplex shutting down

[Willie Trombone]

Am I the only one who feels like they just heard?

 

[cguy]

I had never even heard of Codeplex.

It's been around for 10 years but if you don't do any .net development you probably might not have paid much attention to it (though it wasn't exclusive to .net).
This is linked to the move to Github by the looks.

 

[oober]

Never liked them.

 

[_kabal_]

makes complete sense.

This has been on the cards for ages. How is it even news?

I had never even heard of Codeplex.

At first I was like :wtf:

And then I saw cguy. Of course he doesn't need Codeplex.

Yip. it's even on the site, in a big yellow box at the top.

 

[cguy]

Wtf

You are surprised that I'm surprised that people are surprised that something I am surprised existed has been surprisingly shut down.

It shows just how wide diverse the industry is. Out of the hundreds of developers I know, not even one of them does .net for a living, which from he OPs second post probably explains my ignorance.

GitHub is anyway a better solution.
