The company I work for moved to Gitlab because we were pessimistic on GitHub in the past few years. I don’t really have a strong opinion on which is better though, I still keep my private repositories on GitHub. However, I feel that Microsoft will start feeling the pain soon as more people in the development community get sour on GitHub.
- ldiracdelta 6y agoWhy do you think they will feel the pain ever?
- DevKoala 6y agoGithub had been in growth mode up until the acquisition. If Github stops being the nirvana for developers that it once was, it will be another dark mark in the history of MS acquisitions. Moreover, considering how sentiment influenced the stock market is at the moment, continued news of one of their products having outages could easily shed a considerable amount of Microsoft’s valuation, ~1%. The say stocks only go up nowadays, but when everything goes up, whoever grows at the slowest rate is really going down. I‘d assume that the Microsoft executive team won’t be happy with the new perception of Github.
