It was best GitHub automation WITH results ever! \ud83d\udcaf<\/p>\n<p>3\ufe0f\u20e3\u2014 Don&#8217;t &#8220;@&#8221; me coz I know about @Microsoft&#8217;s history with #OpenSource. I am a full-time open sourcerer and I can&#8217;t sit here quiet instead of supporting what looks like the new @Microsoft \u2014 @SatyaNadella&#8217;s moving the company from @Windows dependant to in-house @Linux dev<\/p>\n<p>4\u20e3\u2014 Every other day I find\/meet people working at @Microsoft using Linux\/Mac based devices \u2014 even bought by the company for them. Guess what? 1,000 MSFT Employees pushing open source code on GitHub. This is a BIG \ud83c\udd95 change. Taking it lightly in 2018 would be tomfoolery.<\/p>\n<p>5\u20e3\u2014 I&#8217;ve been most inspired by teams behind \ud83c\udd9a@Code (@auchenberg \ud83d\udc4b) and @Azure \u2014 I think that @JeffSand has built an incredible team of @AzureAdvocates folks like @ashleymcnamara @sarah_edo @jawache @burkeholland @simona_cotin @_clarkio @John_Papa @holtbt @film_girl @TommyLee<\/p>\n<p>6\u20e3\u2014I&#8217;m a big fan of &#8220;Dev Experience&#8221; (DX) that&#8217;s why I pay $200 for a font I use in \ud83c\udd9aCode &amp; have built \ud83d\udcafs of #OpenSource dev-tooling github.com\/ahmadawais\u2014Teams at @Azure are doing a lot to make DX better for the cloud \u2192 @AzureFunctions + @Code integration is impressive!<\/p>\n<p>7\ufe0f\u20e3\u2014 GitHub&#8217;s been struggling to find a new CEO for a year. What if?<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s my primary code hosting company. It&#8217;s helped me go full-time open source with the support from awesome dev community\/companies. Safe to say that @GitHub has made #OpenSource better \ud83d\udc4f<\/p>\n<p>8\ufe0f\u20e3\u2014 @Microsoft has done a lot for #OpenSource in the last 4 years with @SatyaNadella.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udd9a @Code&#8217;s love.<br \/>\n\ud83d\udcbb @Linux Subsystem on @Windows.<br \/>\n\ud83c\udfaf Draft.sh for @kubernetesio didn&#8217;t have a Windows version and still offers @MacHomebrew as the go-to way of installing it!<\/p>\n<p>9\ufe0f\u20e3\u2014@GitHub is not exactly a cash-cow. @Microsoft has put money where their mouth is \u2014 out of 1.5 Million organizations on GitHub MSFT has most GitHub contributors to its repos, it&#8217;s the biggest company with over 1000 employees contributing code to GitHub \u2192proof of good faith!<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udd1f\u2014 I think @Microsoft is changing for good. The intent here&#8217;s to connect with developers and not offend them by disrupting a good company. MSFT won&#8217;t change a lot but this acquisition might make GitHub a lot better. Also, MSFT will jump into ROR.
