Its incredibly trivial to just host up your own instance if gogs or gitea on a cheap computer, throw woodpecker on it if you want easy CI/CD

It doesnt take much hardware at all for a git server, a raspberry pi will handle it just fine.

Or just a cheap box liquidated from some office, just go buy some box from a used pc seller in your city, they’ll have some.

Toss a 1TB drive in it.

Throw debian on it.

Install Gogs + Woodpecker

And then set em up and connect the two together.

Grats, you have your own self hosted git server whee

If my boss comes to tell me that from now on my “productivity” will be measured in token usage rather than actual “production”

Did your boss actually say this, or are you just going off of some memes you saw and think thats something happening often.

Most companies care about getting work done in as few tokens as possible now, developers that can achieve the same results but with less tokens are extremely valuable.

Not only that, but less tokens also inherently means faster.

Any company that is blowing through tokens, without any effort put into training employees how to use the tools better, deserve to fail.

Thus just in: handing your employees a bunch of nail guns with near zero effort put into training them on how to use the nail guns has resulted in terrible outcomes, to no one’s surprise.

Its possible to use the tools efficiently at a low cost.

But the average dev Ive worked with has zero clue how to do this and has had zero training and will just rip through tokens willy nilly.
