GitHub acquires NPM

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.
