:( this sucks. Github would not even exist without Tom Preston-Werner and I am really scared to see how it will exist without him. Tragic for all his users.

Isn't that a little bit extreme? Do all the good things that happen at Github stem directly from Tom Preston-Werner?

I can't claim intimate knowledge of Github the company, but I somehow doubt that this is a "Steve Jobs" type situation.

Come to think, I somehow doubt Steve Jobs was a "Steve Jobs" type situation.
