Trillion dollar marketshare? How big do you think GitHub is?
- mardef 8mo agoGitHub is wholly owned by Microsoft, which has a 3 trillion market cap
- ThrowawayB7 8mo agoOne would expect people on Hacker News to know that a single business division doesn't have direct access to the funds of other business divisions of the same corporation.
- shimman 8mo agoOne would expect people on HN should know that companies subsidize failing BU all the time with their profitable BUs. Sorry but why are you making excuses for these insanely greedy companies that don't want to hire people to solve a basic problem?
- grepfru_it 8mo agoWhen I left, GH was valued at around $40 billion. Above the $8B they were purchased for. Well below $1T that is claimed
- shimman 8mo agoEven if they were valued around $100million they would still have more enough resources to solve this problem. Stop excusing companies that hate hiring people and are so greedy they would rather punt this problem to the commons fucking over an entire community that literally enabled them to exist. Come on here, even Meta hires people in Kenya to look at CP and snuff films to label this stuff. Meta! They literally profited off of a genocide and they still know how to do this. Excuse after excuse for these greedy companies.
- DonHopkins 8mo agoHow small do you think Microsoft is??!
- cortesoft 8mo agoGitHub is not all of Microsoft.
