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'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're still the same company they were in the 90's, but the senior leadership aren't the same people and I'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't automatically assume that it'll be a disaster...
