The rest of the article is hardly less trite than this. There's nothing wrong with refusing to do business in areas you are likely to be scammed or abused.

Github is the best thing that happened to programming.
Another alternative not listed there is codeberg.org
> Microsoft also has a policy called the three EEEs, in which they first Embrace something ("open source" software), they then Extend it (wsl, github, sponsoring linux foundation), and it's only a matter of time until they Extinguish it. Lastly, if they loved open source so much why is Github proprietary, which leads me into my next point.

WSL, GitHub, OpenAI (including GPT-3, Copilot and Codex) are all Extend phase products.

You know what 'Extinguish' looks like? I'll tell you:

The best developer tools on the market are on GitHub and all of these features become free for everyone which starves the paid competitors out and everyone runs to the new Microsoft platform and is locked in.
