I think this article pretty much shakes all the confidence in Github and for several (good) reasons:<p>Whenever a new CEO steps in and starts making big changes like that to the company, it usually results in big changes in the product. Whereas before, the product was controlled by programmers, now it will be controlled by CEO, his inner circle, and VCs that have the most influence. That means a product that&#x27;s more &quot;money-friendly&quot; toward investors rather than users.<p>The fact that a lot of high-ranking people left and possibly, many remote developers will stop working there is yet another sign that Github as we know it will change. Maybe for the better, maybe not.<p>One thing that really disappoints me is killing off the remote option. I&#x27;ve always looked up to Github and would use it as the perfect example of how &quot;remote can work, even at scale&quot;. Facebook recently (a year or two) implemented the same thing which is a shame.<p>I won&#x27;t address the leadership thing but that last quote in the paragraph summed it up perfectly.<p>Anyways, from the looks of it, Github will become an enterprise-friendly place with less of a focus on ordinary developers and smaller businesses. This makes me think that there is growing space for a new company to take up that &quot;developer-friendly&quot; social network&#x2F;code repository.
