- jedimastert 7y agoI mean, I really don't think "Microsoft's Github" does anything to explain what Github is to the laymen.
- blotter_paper 7y agoIt gives them the context that this is a decision from a big tech company, not just some startup they haven't heard of.
- diffeomorphism 7y agoAnd the laymen doesn't care and it is not relevant to the story what a "github" is. It is something by Microsoft that apparently is important for apps. Nothing more you need to know.
- Angostura 7y agoAs a newspaper editor you have to be aware that each story will be read by both specialists and non-specialists. This headline attempts to convey information to both.
