@ironicbadger lessons learned? stay away from VC...grow organically and listen/follow your users demands ;)

@mc @ironicbadger Are you suggesting that Microsoft is "VC"? Isn't it the opposite, GitHub was initially funded by VC, then Microsoft bought it and the VC funders got their payout?

No they are suggesting that VC shareholders forced the sale to Microsoft. Same as Twitter VC shareholders forced the sale to Musk, even though literally nobody but them wanted it to happen.

@ali1234 @tml @mc @ironicbadger I just read "VC" and thought "Why would someone arrive to the conclusion that they must stay away from Version Control"

... So carry on!
