Never mind loss leader; github can probably pay for itself by providing internal analytics to Microsoft which they can use for qualifying hires.

  If you want I suspect you can just go play with: https://blog.github.com/2017-01-19-github-data-ready-for-you-to-explore-with-bigquery/ https://blog.github.com/2017-01-19-github-data-ready-for-you... I guess it only counts open source projects, but still that's a lot of data.

    Sure, they publish some data. But I'd imagine that Microsoft can pull strings to get better data faster.

      Doubt it's worth while... Afaik I saw the data set was updated weekly.. afaik it's maintained by GitHub.
