Apple. I know it's not Apple's style but imagine if Apple started expanding outside of it's bubble like Microsoft has. If they really went all in it would be amazing.
- discordance 8y agoI would prefer if Apple would continue to focus on making my phone better. They really slipped up with their QA on recent iOS releases.
- ianwalter 8y agoYea but I don't think it's continued focus that will help here. Apple has continued it's modus operandi and quality has decreased like you mentioned. Granted, acquiring GitHub is most likely not the right fix, but I think something about Apple's particular way of operating is holding it back.
- earenndil 8y agoApple has enough money that they could easily make your phone better and develop github and do eight other things.
- watersb 8y agoI use mostly Apple products, for 25 years, but I would not want Apple to own GitHub. Microsoft has always been a developer-tools company. They are many other things besides, and I have had some nasty experiences with their sales reps (who would say anything to close a deal), but I have always felt that at its core, Microsoft is a developer-driven organization. Apple likes developers too. They taste like chicken. And a cloud-based developer institution would let Apple destroy two populations - cloud operations and developers - with one asteroid.
- joeframbach 8y agoApple would charge $100/yr and require Safari for access to Github. Updates will come once per year.
