If this is true, I delete my account immediately. The last thing I want is my code to fall into the hands of MS.

  If you've used GPL then you have nothing to worry about.

    80% of github projects here are hidden, inhouse trustworthy secret private projects! This is such horrible news!
    • zufallsheld 8y ago
      So you put trustworthy, secret projects on GitHub instead of hosting them in-house?
      • singularity2001 8y ago
        yes, my bad, should have listened to IT The idea was that it's more likely our servers get hacked than a breach at github. Guess I was wrong.

      Microsoft built its business by selling software products. If they had meddled with Fortune 500 companies running their business-critical information on top of Windows, Microsoft wouldn't be here now. There are situations to be wary of MS, but I don't think this is one.

        In Europe there are real worries about state-driven industrial espionage. We shouldn't be worried that our developers coding habits will get connected with linked-in and fed into the surveillance state (which MS is big part of)?

      Microsoft is not gonna give a fuck about your shitty little repos or anyones for that matter. What makes you think they are gonna put time and effort into mining people's code?

  Fair enough. After all, they did ship a free web browser with their operating system, 24 years ago. Some things you can just never forgive.

    A shitty free browser developers still have to deal with today because enterprises refuse to fix their garbage in-house software..I'm not bitter at all.

  don't worry, I'm sure they've got backups
