GitHub just had its 2019 Universe conference, where they announced a lot of cool new things.
The last thing they announced on day 1 was the GitHub Arctic Code Vault.
Basically, they're printing out all the active public repositories on GitHub and storing them in a vault in the arctic.
Do you guys think that's a great idea, or totally insane, or both?
I am quite amazed what the point of 'all this information' will be? so we print it an freeze and afterwards we scan it again. great ... why not use the genom technoloy and store it in a format that is less wasteful, requires less space and if we loose electricity or something .... we cannot use this information anyways ... but maybe I get proven wrong who knows...

I think it is nonsense and a waste of resources. And it seems no one is asking the key question: Why?
