So.. just to repeat myself for the 300th time
This is a good example of why people use GitHub
Because it's an advantage that it's hosted by a large company like Microsoft. There's very little chance it's going to be shut down or sold off. So developers don't need to worry about their infrastructure as much
One of our projects failed because we got caught up in infrastructure.
It's funny though how the people who are the most vocal against GitHub aren't responding to this post. But they're happy to make the biggest deal about every little button on it....
And Microsoft wouldn't fuck up with GitHub? Or sell it to god.onows who? You sure about that?
Gitlab is at least open source, I can host it myself

I would like to say I'm not too concerned by this personally, as long as all their data remains public to all.
