What is wrong with Microsoft buying GitHub
The idea that some companies must be forever tainted by their misdeads in the past seems odd to me.<p>Companies change leadership, direction and style and it seems odd to suggest that there&#x27;s some underlying quality which means that, regardless of that, you can never trust them (or in reverse that you should always trust a company you once trusted)<p>There seems to be a trope with Microsoft that they&#x27;re still the same company they were in the 90&#x27;s, but the senior leadership aren&#x27;t the same people and I&#x27;d imagine neither are the staff.<p>Is that to say that the Github acquisition will be an unalloyed good, no.<p>but I would say that people shouldn&#x27;t automatically assume that it&#x27;ll be a disaster...
