Specifically, do you worry that Microsoft is going to eventually do the Microsoft thing and horribly fuck it up for everyone? I’ve really grown to appreciate the language itself, but I’m wary of it getting too ingrained at work only to have the rug pulled out from under us when it’s become hard to back out.

Edit: not really “pulling the rug”, but, you know, doing the Microsoft classic.

    Idk, I actually kind of like the “for you” feed. I’ve discovered some interesting projects on there that I wouldn’t have otherwise

      I dont think it has any place on a developer tool/workplace platform. Algorithmic feeds are the first step towards enshittification. If they had a “trending repos” page, it’d be fine, but they’re hijacking people’s work flows to show (potential) ads.

        Yeah, I get that. I’m on sabbatical RN, so my GitHub usage is purely personal. Having your work feed hijacked is a different story altogether
