I assume that's just an embarrassing mistake on the part of Github's PR team. There's really no reason that a CEO currently making headlines should be on /r/AM

It's worth noting that until the deal closes, Nat isn't actually part of GitHub. That would make it the Microsoft PR team or his deal -- not GitHub's.

  That makes less sense as Microsoft has done some excellent AMAs with the Excel team: https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/3rid26/we_are_the_microsoft_excel_team_ask_us_anything/ https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/3rid26/we_are_the_mic... https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/777mb6/we_are_the_microsoft_excel_team_ask_us_anything/ https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/777mb6/we_are_the_mic...

    You might be overestimating the coordination between different teams at Microsoft :) It's a big company. I doubt there is any overlap between the people involved in the Excel IAMAs and Nat's

      That is true; when I looked, I thought MSFT did more AMAs than just Excel.

  Eh, I wouldn't be surprised if they're already working together. PR teams are used to cross-company collaboration.

Not known the intricacies of reddit is probably better than the reverse, toxic as reddit is.
