Can we just get a bot that posts EEE on every article about Microsoft? Seriously, every damn time.

- ploxiln 10y agoIt's the first time I've posted it, and I think it's more appropriate for this story than others in recent memory. I'm also pretty sure I haven't seen it on the many VSCode stories (and I have "showdead" enabled).
- sdesol 10y agoI've been studying the SCM war with great interest and I like to think of myself, as an impartial observer, from a Git hosting point of view. Since my product is built around Git and not Git hosting, it doesn't really matter to me, who (GitHub, GitLab, Microsoft, etc.) wins the Git hosting war. The only thing that matters for me, is Git gaining greater mind share in Enterprise. And I think Microsoft's flurry of activity in the Git hosting world, is not them trying to embrace it, so they can extinguish it. But rather, it's them trying to ensure they don't lose relevance. In the past, when we had SCM diversity (ClearCase, Perforce, Subversion, Git, etc.), companies who managed the SCM technology, controlled the software development life cycle. However, with Git, where there is no owner, you can't control the software development life cycle, like you use to. Microsoft embracing Git like they are, is just them flexing their vast technical and financial resources, so they can get people to migrate to their ecosystem. They know they can't extinguish Git, and since they can't dictate how Git evolves, their next best option is to make working with Git better in their world.
