Microsoft execs share a plan to ward off AI coding rivals by overhauling GitHub (businessinsider.com)

so this is why GitHub has been having issues and is moving to azure - nothing to do with the needs of people using it, everything to do with trying to build a moat around their own ai code-gen.

I can't wait for this shit to explode. I look forward to the ai crash. Some sanity would be nice.

I'm pretty happy Microsoft has embraced GitHub. It's good they're extending it to extinguish these rivals it otherwise can't compete with.
