I don’t get the Microsoft hate, it feels immature, like teenage rage. Life’s pretty good if all you have to get really mad about is Microsoft buying github.

- jasonkostempski 8y agoSomeone's got to bring the rage. These teenagers today have been made docile by the software and devices created by the likes of MS, so us Gen X curmudgeons need to pick up the slack, just like we do for everything else they should be responsible for. *I originally typed that jokingly playing the role of a stereotypical Gen Xer. When I took off my stage costume, I realized I was wearing the same outfit underneath. ./midlifecrisis.sh
- kjeetgill 8y agoI think the part of the M$ rage that feels reactionary and knee jerky is simply that it's so trivial to leave github behind for any of the 2-3 comparable competitors. It takes what, 5 minutes? What's really at stake here for anyone but actual enterprise customers? PS - > When I took off my stage costume, I realized I was wearing the same outfit underneath. That's a beautiful sentence. It deservers to be the last sentence in the kind of book they make you read in high school.
- dvfjsdhgfv 8y agoMost of negative comments I read come from senior devs, those who remember the company in the 90s. It was a ruthless fight back then.
- parrellel 8y agoIt seems pretty appropriate, really, given Microsoft's long and sordid track record. If they manage not to wreck the place for, say, 5 years, I'll be tempted to give them the benefit of the doubt. Tempted.
