I really can’t believe this got the green light. GitHub has, or perhaps had, the trust of most of the open source world. It was used by everybody. This is so fucking short-sighted, it’s signing away your stock portfolio for a popsicle. Whatever couple bucks they get from this ad is worth absolutely nothing compared to the trust and good will they have flushed.
Kinda hard to explain this concept to executives who have made their entire careers based off of dumb decisions like this. Problem is these execs never get fired or laid off, and instead get promoted upwards until all of Microsoft is doing the dumbest thing imaginable to their name. These people have never had consequence before, so are now destined to place those consequences on the company that’s kept them woefully employed.
They believe they are irreplacesble and as a single central point for development they are. They’ll ride this until users move to other options effectively decentralizing source hosting again. Good. Burn it down MS. Burn it down as fast as you can.
I think once you turn your product into “Enterprise” or whatever that means, then you can do whatever you want with the company. it doesn’t matter you’re going to make like 3 trillion dollars

Well yes, but have you also considered that line must go up?

Like everything a techbro behemoth acquires?
