    > GitHub was purchased, which is a bit different.

Why is that different? The purchase was 7 years ago (?) at this point.

Do we make an exemption for SharePoint because it, too, is an extension of FrontPage acquired via Vermeer?[0]

At what point does it lose its exemption from "Hate All Things Microsoft"? 10 years? 20 years?

The difference here is that we didn't select to use a Microsoft product, a produce we used became Microsoft.

It only matters in the context of it being "ironic" that it is used and favored in the coding community.

[CharlieDigital]

OK, then thoughts on VS Code and TypeScript?

Microsoft contributions to Python?

Do they all trigger some weird instant irrational reaction?

[Aeolun]

Depends. Is everything open source (TypeScript)? Or does it give me basically everything for free when building open source (Github)?

[varjag]

Github looks and works mostly indistinguishable from how it was 7 years ago.

[CharlieDigital]

So you are of the belief that Microsoft has not had any effect on GitHub over the last 7 years? Interesting.

Uh? That's not the case at all. It even has popup ads for copilot now.
