One of GitHub's most staple contributors announced they are abandoning ship due to constant outages. GitHub's COO responds, promising change, but is it all too little too late?
new management destroy everything that attracted the community and goodwill

Somehow, not profit
I wonder where it’s gone wrong. What would it have cost github to keep operating decently for the vast majority of small users, and still have a business side?
On step 6, the long-term investors certainly don’t profit - but the private equity firms invested in buying up big companies often do. They’re the ones aggressively taking over, cutting costs all over, and selling as soon as the result causes the stock price to jump as they showcase record profits; usually because it will take time for the structure to fall apart.
They probably could have put a few MS ads on the website for Azure or w/e and actually made a profit. Otherwise, they could have just left it alone, it wasn’t hurting or competing with them.
Honestly it was helping them. Add in another hoop for me to jump through for open source/indie projects and I’m just going full Linux, especially with all the effort I keep having to go through to keep windows how I want it. Like windows is genuinely becoming as much if not more effort and headaches than Linux for me. I’m also running out of windows only games, once these last couple communities die I’ll probably never look at anything msoft again in my life all because of the companies constant anti-user decisions.
I never understand this: Linux has always been the reliable and manageable one. Windows has always been the flakey corporate nonsense. It is the one that causes me headaches. Every since XP came out.

Microsoft did the same with Skype, but the tech, dont install new ceo or leadership, run it into the ground

Games, well that’s a fair point.
It is not the Microsoft way!
