Satya Nadella Talks Microsoft GitHub Acquisition

[@yogs3870]

I see Microsoft moving in right direction under Satya. Welcome

[@zoobank9633]

Satya's been doing an outstanding job with Microsoft since taking over from Steve Ballmer. We recently made a video about all acquisitions made by Microsoft since its inception. You should give it a watch.

I mean the thing was that intellectuals like Yuunari didn't see too fondly for C# and she's REALLY GOOD at compsci

[@onecarwood]

VSCode is the playground and testing for Visual Studio plus it draws a lot of devs to Microsoft. It sure didn't cost anywhere near 7.5 Billion dollars. I would be surpirised if it cost them 7.5 million.

[@crazieeez]

VSCode is crap. Atom is so much better. Now that M$ bought out Github, it sux big time. Time for me to continue to use sublime and move all my code to Gitlab.

I have made over 150k in last 6 months on msft stock since Satya took control.. MSFT infact is the only big tech that is using tax benefits to grow instead of using it for stock buyback..

[@adityasinghaswal4923]

I won't say Satya is a genius but i can assure Ballmer was one of the most incapable CEO's in the history of companies.Under ballmer while other company stocks were rising MSft was constant.It's is remarkable what microsoft was capable of after being so stale for such a long period of time and incredibly it's stocks have risen in last 4 years

The next acquisition that would complete the developer community hub would would be Stack Overflow. GitHub + Stack Overflow. After that, a cloud IDE of Visual Studio running on Azure and strategic acquisitions of other cloud IDEs would make Microsoft the community/hub of developers of all platforms and languages.

András Hinkel I trust Microsoft more than Apple. Apple tends to remove features before they should and Google spies on people without their consent. Both of those strategies screw a lot of people.

[@mathiaspedersen6870]

You consent to "gettting spied on" by agreeing to their terms of service.

[@matthewyauch9291]

Haha Mathias Pedersen I think that's the point, Mark Beleski DOESN'T consent, because he trusts Microsoft more than Google.

[@markbeleski]

Mathias Pedersen They've been proven to spy before without people's consent. All I'm saying is I think Microsoft is more respectful of their users privacy.

[@BattousaiHBr]

+Mark Beleski im not sure about that, just look at how much telemetry win10 has built in.

[@Gray-Wolf-Media]

Facts are facts. Microsoft has had a history of treating open source like the enemy. Acquire, Enhance, extinguish.

[@RossLarson]

I believe the term was "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish". However, Microsoft has made some big steps away from this strategy. You can argue that the trust isn't there, but they have made great strides in this area.

[@Assenayo]

Microsoft of today is a very different company because today's industry is a completely different industry. Nadella was chosen as CEO specifically because he had the vision to move to a services (i.e. Azure, Xbox Live, etc) company as that is where the money is (look at Amazon!) and Microsoft is doing very well both as a partner in the open source community and as a business. Nadella was also one of the voices in Microsoft that was pushing it to start embracing open source as a "adapt or die" scenario. There really isn't alot of money in standard operating systems anymore. You want to know who is right now the #1 enemy of the open source community? Oracle

[@chesterolson9242]

Christobanistan Microsoft is not the biggest contributor to opensouce they are not even in the top 10. www.datamation.com/open-source/35-top-open-source-companies-1.html

I fear that microsoft drops the main feature of github because of which many were using it, free public repository and hosting facilities. This has been a key factor in attracting many opensource projects on github. I fear that github becomes more commercial and tighten their privacy policy. It is no surprise that many opensource projects have started migrating to other alternate platforms like gitlab. Microsoft has faced high amount of criticism from opensource community in the past and present as well because of its policies. I hope that Microsoft retains the ethics that github has till date. And I also hope that it supports all the operating system platforms (including their rival linux) as it is being supported now.

[@satyabratbhattacharjee9772]

search decision of buying GitHub might be a very good decision for them because Microsoft already has a very big company as well as GitHub is to a big company but its revenue maybe less but when GitHub look collaborate with Microsoft then the GitHub output will boost the output of Microsoft which will increase the revenue level in Microsoft to and Microsoft will be able to gain more sport as well as it will have a interface to empower more people in the whole world and creates is more strong impression among the citizens of any country so that everyone uses the product of Microsoft and get empowered themselves

[@SalvadorMolinaMolina]

Why would you tell people to get out of GitHub? I seriously don't get it. I was a great platform yesterday and it's still is today. If your only reasoning behind the "move out of GitHub" is that Microsoft now owns and you want to go to some other place then that's fine, go for it, but why would you try to convince other developers to leave, what a stupid way of thinking, nothing has changed as of today. Seriously, people love to hate Microsoft...

Still don't know if this is good or bad news. Once I start getting ads/popups/newsletter promotions from MS, or see some kind of subscriptions for GitHub that will be bad. If I can see a more open structure from that company, and just embrace platforms with allowance of different tools/frameworks that will be good. Personally I am massively sceptical, as MS and devs have been here before with other platforms too.

[@gauravgrover2591]

Tried it. For a developer workflow which demands lots of system configurations through commands, like in web, It is not an ideal solution.

[@gespinozae]

as far as I know, creating PowerShell over linux terminal allowed them to seamlessly integrate with .NET Framework, maybe I'm wrong but this could have been the reason. Also, powerShell was created back on 2006 and Satya Nadella took control of Microsoft in 2014

[@PashaDefragzor]

I've never used GitHub or Facebook or other text based social network, I've tested them, but I've never used them seriously or somehow. Complicated ui, and complicated usability makes GitHub complicated.. I think Video / Screen information / Sound info comes faster its gains more ideas more faster information. But sometimes I've been using text forums with questions / answers from Epic Games - I think it's a next gen of forums, if I'd bought something, I'd bought many systems from Epic Games

MS is big enough to open source Windows if they wanted to. They don't want to. The third party crap is an excuse, but I could see a great argument formed around it and the current "I want everything to be free" trend for OS's. Regardless, the real question is why they don't fully open source their Azure OS. It's not completely open source, there are many parts which are closed.

[@MyAce8]

I'm tentatively ok with this

[@rhonaldjr]

Problem is not with Satya. Problem or distrust is on Microsoft as an entity who is not an open source company. OS philosophy have been adopted by Satya on certain areas and not as core business model (like RedHat). It is like corporate fulfilling their "social responsibility" objectives by "showing" that they care, but interested in only fulfilling their objectives. It is not a bad thing if they are open about it, but the moment they start speaking otherwise - it ain't good. Microsoft seem to have found ways to control open source and Linux by buying into that ecosystem and making a big news out of even smallest of their contributions (despite them being the largest contributor in Linux,their main OSes are not OS which is the mark of "changed" Microsoft - not what satya says). Linux foundation playing to the hands of Microsoft is dangerous as well. MS seem to have refurbished their EEE strategy. They had embraced OS in the past few years, not they are in extension mode which will continue for the next 3 years or so and then we will expect the third of the E. OSS will continue in many forms and so is Linux. However, MS is not the one to be trusted with the keys and control.
