Regardless of how we feel, GitHub has been swallowed by the bureaucracy and is being thoroughly digested and dismantled as talent and leadership flee elsewhere. This kind of turmoil is dangerous for even the healthiest business, and yet GitHub has been shitting the bed left and right for years now, and the shitting is still accelerating. It's rather unbelievable. Even if they had a solid plan and somehow could execute, I don't see how they can come back from this. I think they're fully cooked.

Microsoft is a very human company. It ingests delicious things and turns them into piles of shit and hot air.
