"don't appear to have much IP that cannot be easily replicated"
I'm ready to be wrong but doesn't this describe basically every tech acquisition for the last 25 years or longer?

- maerF0x0 1mo agoGithub definitely extended git to a far less technical audience than basic git came from. Emailing patches or connecting to others' remote hosts to pull changes was too much complexity for many customers. Pull requests, CI platform, authentication that is not PAM etc.
- furyofantares 28d agoIs that any of that something that cannot be easily replicated? A lot of work maybe, and required a vision to do so initially. But straightforward work that MS could easily do it, and of course other small companies have replicated it too.
