I've been at GitHub for 7 years and we operate independently but have the support and resources of Microsoft when we need them. IMO, they've been amazing partners but day to day the GitHub team builds, prioritizes, and supports GitHub.

It's totally the smart thing to do. Github needs a ton of cloud compute with github actions, Azure powers it. Github brings a very strong brand that developers love, which gives Microsoft a good rep amongst technical folks.

This is as good as Google acquiring Youtube because Youtube needs an insane amount bandwidth and it was a perfect fit for Google's infrastructure and ad platform.

It's just sad to see Google not playing the Developers game well.

Do you think they're going to try and push us towards azure more, or force us into using Microsoft logins?
