[dba-Tech] Microsoft now owns Github

[Jim Lawrence]

It does seem that many developer type businesses, that depend on Github, also don't trust Microsoft. It goes with the territory but if MS proves reliable, honest and not bent on just making a fast buck, the start-up industry will turn around...but it is not going to happen immediately. For now many companies are looking for a fall-back plan...just in case. 

Prepare for the worst and hope for the best is the current attitude.

Hi Jim

Seems like your SiL lost his common sense for a day ... or in general.

It has already been done...it's called Gitlab...that is where so many projects are migrating to:

Aside: My SiL moved his and his entire company's Github projects to Gitlab last night...was up until three in the morning...according to his message timestamp.
