Github, NPM, VS Code. It kind of sneaks up on you when you finally realize it.
@carnage4life github alone gives them this, honestly
@carnage4life One of the reasons I don’t use VS Code or TypeScript (also Microsoft).
@ramsey @carnage4life What do you use instead?
@carnage4life this is exactly why we're shifting our repos off GitHub this week. We should have done this sooner, but the second best time is now.
@EugeneTeplitsky @carnage4life where do you shift them to?
@elduvelle @carnage4life For now, BitBucket, since we're using other Atlassian tools.

@carnage4life I wrote about it in 2020:
Microsoft’s Acquisition List
https://esparta.co/posts/0003/
> Back in June 2018 I posted a tweet, half joking...
Somebody just leak the acquisition list...
[x] LinkedIn
[x] GitHub
[ ] NPM
[ ] Docker Inc.
[ ] Stackoverflow
[ ] Travis CI
[ ] RedisLabs
[ ] Elastic.co
@esparta @carnage4life as a former elastic employee I did mention that if they were aquired by anyone it would have to be Microsoft due to the anti-comp problems Amazon (and legal issues) and the weird competition space of "Search" with Google. Plus I didn't know about the emergence of Bing due to AI.
Disclosure:
- I (as mentioned) worked at Elastic
- I now work at Microsoft
@kjaymiller @carnage4life wow, that's interesting!
maybe my tweet will be more complete as time confirms MS might be doing it again but maybe this time we all will buy Visual Studio Code + OpenAI (and ChatGPT) in substitution of StackOverflow.
@esparta @carnage4life Ugh, in a dark future I can see Docker happening.
@carnage4life monopoly on *A* developer ecosystem
@nuthatch @carnage4life This is true - Unix ecosys is seperate and they take great care to stay off M$ tools. You can get off Github easily.
@carnage4life any new projects of mine will go on the community-run https://codeberg.org .
Happily Microsoft-free since 1995.
@carnage4life not even close lol
@carnage4life I'm a simple man. I see Todadora meme, I upvote.
Despite said "monopoly" I don't know why we do it, but it pays my bills so I'm glad we do...
@carnage4life it’s great, actually. What if it was Salesforce?
What if it was Apple?
@carnage4life
GitLab, Conan, CLion.
What are you talking about?
