You&#x27;ll get hammered, I&#x27;m sure for the rest of it, but this is a good question:<p>&gt; Has anyone asked why GitHub needs to grow?<p>They are a making a pretty decent profit now.  They could keep the lights on and keep doing what they are doing for the foreseeable future, make incremental improvements and scale out servers to pick up additional load without shaking things up drastically and taking in loads of VC money.  That&#x27;s not the sexy, billion dollar unicorn move, but it is a safe, sustainable bet.
