Brutal.

When Microsoft acquired GitHub.

@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?

@tml @mc @ironicbadger

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 @mc @ironicbadger So if the VC shareholders had not done that, but GH was still owned by VCs, it would be good?
