Very few companies can make me feel like part of their journey like Github (Cloudflare also)
They understand their target audience more than most of the companies out there. When they are making moves such as this, they explain what was behind it. I find it authentic.
- snazz 7y agoMe too! Microsoft has done a really great job of managing the acquisition without ruining GitHub. GitHub already had a great understanding of their audience and a pulse on the community prior to being bought, so I'm really glad that they haven't lost that now that they're a Microsoft subsidiary.
- lucb1e 7y ago> a really great job of managing the acquisition I mean, if they hadn't done a thing it would have been a great job, too. Pumping in cash to fund previously paid features for free sure goes a long way, too, but the changes they've made so far I'd hardly call managing and more not touching it aside from making paid things free.
- hinkley 7y agoSpeaking of, I just had a momentary panic because Backblaze’s hard disk report timeline is missing a link to the last update (from February) and I thought maybe they’d stopped doing them... Who else is good at this? I’m somewhat fond of Digital Ocean’s docs.
- Ayesh 7y agoNot for the technical aspects, but I'm fond of TransferWise an Signal. Even within Microsoft, their WSL, and new terminal are well-received in open source communities.
