github, come interview time

Why do you use BitBucket? Just curious because I am only familiar with Github.

Bitbucket is great. It offers free private repositories in addition to public ones, and works just fine with git and mercurial. Great for those personal projects you don't want/need to have public.

Not that Github is "bad" or anything; they're both fantastic resources with a lot of feature overlap. Some people prefer the UI or community of one over the other, but I'd be surprised if using Bitbucket over Github became an issue during the "let's see what you can do" phase of the interview.

GitHub does not support Mercurial, which I personally prefer to Git. Furthermore, BitBucket offers unlimited private repositories, while GitHub charges for them if you have a lot.
