I think the author's personal feelings towards Github the company are blinding them to logic: > They do not improve or contribute to git itself (edit: as pointed out on HN, many individual employees at github are git contributors - but none seem to do so under the auspices of github, and the most prolific were contributors well before github came into being) Sure...by hiring prolific Git contributors, and allowing them to continue to work on the product, they display their disdain for raw Git, because they didn't make them use a company account.
