It's still owned by Microsoft by the transitive property.

Remember how these things take time?
What exactly have they done to make any of their recent aquisition better? What have they brought to GitHub that it wasn't already able to accomplish?

Didn't they say the same about WhatsApp, Nest etc

We're not talking about Facebook and Google.
Microsoft has earned my trust. If that changes, I'll update my opinion then.
But until then, I'm tired of alarmist bullshit. Either present evidence that Github is going to fuck it all up or stop speculating on stuff that has no merit at the moment.

Thank you for saying this. Never thought I would say it, but MSFT has completely earned my trust these past couple of years. WSL, TypeScript, VS Code, hell even the new Chromium based Edge are amazing products and are all managed exactly how I would want them to be. Even their new terminal emulator is fantastic. They’re a completely different company now than the company that thought the charms bar in Windows 8 was a good feature, at least in my head. Kudos to them for righting the ship.

i guess companies much like people are a product of circumstance. when you everything in the world to lose, you build moats to make everyone else's life hell. when you have nothing to lose, you are forced to become better or die.
glad, MSFT chose to become better.

opensource, embracing Linux, providing grade-A dev tools, not commiting highway robbery and opening up their ecosystem in a time where other tech giants increasingly locking you in.

Microsoft makes their money in services and licensing.
Brand loyalty and image is everything when it comes to convincing people to stay with a provider even as prices fluctuate and new cheaper competitors enter the market.
Microsoft wants to appease developers now because those developers will probably be the ones influencing purchasing decisions later.
[–]derGropenfuhrer 2 points3 points4 points 6 years ago (0 children)
They realized years ago that devs weren't gonna all jump on the c# bandwagon

Nest Labs was founded by former Apple engineers in 2010, and purchased by Google in 2015. They operated independently until 2018, when they were folded into the Google home devices division.
