Makes sense? May be if leads to tighter integration with azure but what about vsts ?!? https://www.cnbc.com/2018/06/01/microsoft--github-acquisition-talks-resume.html
Github is to become Visual Studio Team Service?
Oh crap
If the acquisition actually happens it will probably be run with limited interference from mothership. (For obvious reasons) LinkedIn is working out beautifully. In hindsight Li acquisition price appears cheap.
Like Skype, everyone will force to have MSFT account and subscribe anything MSFT :buy stuff on MSFT store, search using Bing, subscribe to office 365, play VR games on MSFT platform...
Like LinkedIn?
Hahahahhha oh god. They’re going to buy everyone and not know what to do with the talent. Buying them for the IP and business but can’t keep the top engs
please don’t. last thing we need is vsts crap in github.
They will no longer use circle CI :( instead MSFT team service
which is vsts pretty much ...
No. They would just fuck GitHub up.
Like FB did with WhatsApp
Are you drunk? WhatsApp engagement numbers are higher than ever. Only problem is it doesn't make any money for FB and it never did before. Have no idea why FB bought it.
Oh fucking fantastic. Cue the startups spinning up to replace GitHub once Microsoft drives it into the ground.
Embrace, extend....—amend?
Love the rumor mill. Let’s remember this already happened once a couple years ago and nothing came of it. So take all of this with the usual grains of salt. My take: We have parternered very closely with M$ on several initiatives over the past year. They have also been present at important internal company events FWIW. So this is not completely crazy. For all those asking about VSTS (and TFS) that whole product line would be replaced with GitHub. Not the other way around. It doesn’t make any sense to replace us with something that has little to no market penetration. VSTS would shift to primarily being a CI tool used alongside GitHub a la Jenkins.
I work in VSTS
I’m crying over the weekend
It’s not like they’ll replace you and you are not the reason for acquisition
