So you've admitted you haven't read what I said and the tweets and you've just rushed into the comments section? > I don't understand why Google, Microsoft and AWS et. al are on a board of this new foundation.

You know what this is about. I assume you've read the links in my comment and the tweets and now you're trying to gaslight the situation. We shouldn't be giving corporations too much power by letting them buy board seats in a

Still don't know why we should let these big tech companies have board seats on programming language foundations for them to have the power to do this. I feared this would happen months ago when Facebook joined the board and even talke

This is absolutely HUGE . If you're an indie hacker, or solo founder taxes are extremely important and you cannot ignore them if you go over a certain amount. In the past taxes, VAT and all of that is a pain in the backside for most

The fact that this thing is open source is entirely irrelevant. It's quite simple. You don't know what Github is doing privately with this tool running in their backend systems. I still don't understand the praise and the e

And how do you know if GitHub is spying on you with this system? Am I able to "opt-out" of this telemetry on GitHub? In a closed source backend system like GitHub (Microsoft) how do you exactly know that this tool is also being us
