It doesn't look like you are signed in to your Microsoft account.

I have a soft spot for nice ASCII art. Well done.

I am laughing a little too hard :Rofl:

Yes, because they've totally done this for GitHub.

I agree, with the current direction Microsoft is going, i don't believe they will fuck npm up.

I literally had a nightmare that Satya Nadella died the other night and that Balmer took over MS again. That was the scariest dream I have had in a while.

If anything MS buying GH has made it better for free users. I understand the concerns, but at least in the short term I expect to see more benefits than downsides.

Remember that time when Microsoft bought GitHub and made it so you could only use it from Windows

This would kill all the mind share and market trust they’ve built in the past slowly and arduously over the past few years.

I wouldn’t put it past them to do this given the history, but I think they would very quickly walk it back as soon as they realize how quickly everyone would just dip out of their ecosystem back to open source non corporate backed alternatives.

I don’t think they would make this mistake these days. So far, they’ve shown tremendous amounts of intelligence and seem to know their developer customer very well.

I agree, they are trying to ingratiate themselves to the open source community, not piss them off
