- eddieroger 3mo agoYeah, that was unnecessary. Incompetent are born and work everywhere. In this case, Microsoft's problem with GitHub is trying to shove the square peg that is GitHub in to the round hole that is Azure.

- righthand 3mo agoNo but it demonstrates a disinterest in building software products and a bigger interest in playing business cost economics and securing their moat. Part of their strategy to force as much money into AI-hype as possible.
