The Verge: GitHub is no longer independent at Microsoft after CEO resignation https://www.theverge.com/news/757461/microsoft-github-thomas-dohmke-resignation-coreai-team-transition @verge @tomwarren #GitHub #Microsoft

#GitHub perd son indépendance chez #Microsoft après la #démission de son #PDG
Microsoft annonce une réorganisation majeure de GitHub, qui intégrera son équipe #CoreAI suite à la démission de son PDG, #ThomasDohmke. Après près de quatre ans à la tête de la plateforme, Thomas Dohmke quittera son poste fin 2025 pour « redevenir entrepreneur », selon ses dires, et explorer de nouvelles opportunités hors de Microsoft et GitHub.

In other words, MS is now harvesting all of that code that people have hosted on GH for years and years. It's literally that simple and if you don't see or understand that it's being done, then I'm not sure what to tell you.
