> * They’re a closed-source for-profit company? Great! That’s why their product is high quality. That's a huge stretch for a few reasons. First, the reliability of GitHub.com is very poor and it has had tens of incidents in the past few months. Second, their hosted solution, GitHub Enterprise, is notoriously poor, difficult to maintain, always late with features. Third, their main competitor, GitLab, which is open core, was kicking their ass for years with features and quality until GitHub got the unlimited funds of Microsoft to be able to even come close. More to the point, there are tons of good quality open source software, and tons of really poor quality closed source. Openness of code matters little for quality (besides the fact that with open source at least you have the option to see why and fix). Regarding Copilot, they're ignoring licenses, training models on everybody's code, and selling the result as a service. Sounds very sketchy.
