Musk didn't found PayPal. X.com merged with Confinity, another online financial site (founded by Peter Thiel and others). Confinity had already begun development of PayPal at that time. In the resulting company, still called X.com, there was a series of leadership conflicts, with Musk pushing out CEO Bill Harris to become CEO, before himself being replaced by Peter Thiel. It was under Thiel that the company changed it's name to PayPal, and later went public. By the time there was a company called "PayPal", Musk was not longer involved with daily operations.

So, the professor gives you the knowledge to fully leverage it and take it in any direction.

Your friend gives you a single option that might help.

The Indian guy presents a straightforward path to a solution you might not want?

It's not really good to compare the different situations of information sharing, because they have different goals. The professor isn't needlessly complicating it, they are giving you fundamentals to build on.

My baseball team plays God Bless America during the seventh stretch, and people stand up for that, and then make comments when I don't. I'm a vet, and I only stand for the star spangled because people make even more comments. I did my duty, I'm done with jingoistic bullshit

Depending on your use case, you can just host from git itself on your machine. Git was built for distribution from the start, and come with a server: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-on-the-Server-Git-Daemon

This sounds like a lot of good reasoning that could have been used to respond to the original poster of this thread ; ¯_(ツ)_/¯

My initial reaction is that this is a "both sides" stance that punishes the victim, but I'm interested to become more nuanced. Would you mind expanding on why this would be best?

Well, like, that's a bit far for a single day drive, but not out of bounds. Particularly if you have two drivers and can switch, it seems pretty normal?
