I did search, didn't find it quickly. Could you share some sources of the negative impact? (I'm legitimately curious as my use of GitHub hasn't led me to notice any change.)
- mbesto 7y agoI found two pretty damn quickly. They're 3 of the top 5 most upvoted comments on the announcement thread... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17221640 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17221640 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17221656 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17221656 > I'm legitimately curious as my use of GitHub hasn't led me to notice any change Nor I. That's not that point. For the record, I think Microsoft has done wonderfully for the dev community in the last 10 years. I don't see any reason that they are going to "f it up", but big businesses get desperate when environments change and profits get impacted (look no further than what Oracle is doing). Microsoft is not immune to that.
- ptato 7y agoI believe he was asking for specific evidence of negative impact, not people worried it might have a negative impact.
- IAmEveryone 7y agoThe complaints are "I think it really impacts the neutrality of github" and "I hope they don't discontinue Atom or apply their UX styling to the site/desktop app", respectively. Those don't strike me as particularly specific and/or nightmarish.
- michaelmior 7y agoNeither of those show negative impact but people worried about potential future negative impact.
- abdulmuhaimin 7y agoconcern of negative impact =/= negative impact. Great job twisting the truth. Im not gonna be surprised if you say you're a journalist.
