The name of this post was inspired by the announcement in the official post on the GitHub blog.
Edit: Well, seems the plan wasn't EEE. Just to steal all your code to train LLMs, lol ;)
So Microsoft is acquiring GitHub. While certain people like GitHub CEO defunkt are beaming with enthusiasm reserved only for those, who secured themselves a hefty sum and a nice position on the lap of their new overlord, I can't help myself but feel skeptical. Don't get me wrong, I wish for nothing else but the bright future that has been promised - but is that future really possible with the track record Microsoft has had up until now?
