I actually think Microsoft would probably improve GitHub.

@radix I'd be thankful if you could describe what makes you draw this conclusion because you are the first person with that opinion that I read of.

@PresGas @encarsia oh, MS in talks with GitHub is a very strong rumor (but likely to not be executed).

@radix @encarsia uuuugh! Sci-fi wasn't lying when they speculated Megacorps...

@encarsia GitHub is generally pretty stagnant, feature-wise. And as a company they could *definitely* benefit from a more developed HR department.

And lastly, MS has accrued much more good will from me over recent years compared to the olden days.

- WSL is cool
- vscode is a great editor; I consider it by far the best "modern" open source editor, and it gets tons of dev
- language server protocol has improved many dev ecosystems
- typescript

So I think they are much more in touch.

@radix Thank you.

So you are saying we should not lose ourselves into headless activism and just wait what will happen next? That sounds like a radical approach...

(I mean there is still all the time in the world left for 'Told you so's...)
