- CharlieDigital 2y ago> GitHub was purchased, which is a bit different. Why is that different? The purchase was 7 years ago (?) at this point. Do we make an exemption for SharePoint because it, too, is an extension of FrontPage acquired via Vermeer?[0] At what point does it lose its exemption from "Hate All Things Microsoft"? 10 years? 20 years?

- varjag 2y agoGithub looks and works mostly indistinguishable from how it was 7 years ago.
- CharlieDigital 2y agoSo you are of the belief that Microsoft has not had any effect on GitHub over the last 7 years? Interesting.
- LtWorf 1y agoUh? That's not the case at all. It even has popup ads for copilot now.
- Navarr 2y agoThe difference here is that we didn't select to use a Microsoft product, a produce we used became Microsoft. It only matters in the context of it being "ironic" that it is used and favored in the coding community.
- CharlieDigital 2y agoOK, then thoughts on VS Code and TypeScript? Microsoft contributions to Python? Do they all trigger some weird instant irrational reaction?
- Aeolun 2y agoDepends. Is everything open source (TypeScript)? Or does it give me basically everything for free when building open source (Github)?
