TaggartSo this sucks.
GitHub has operated as a separate company ever since Microsoft acquired it in 2018 for $7.5 billion, but Dohmke’s departure is part of a big shakeup to the way GitHub operates. Microsoft isn’t replacing Dohmke’s CEO position, and the rest of GitHub’s leadership team will now report more directly to Microsoft’s CoreAI team.https://www.theverge.com/news/757461/microsoft-github-thomas-dohmke-resignation-coreai-team-transition
A feral Natalie@mttaggart@infosec.exchange (I was @ GitHub until early 2024 - any current MSFT folks would have a better org chart than me and I'll edit it if/as corrected)
CoreAI is gigantic. IIRC, it also encompasses Modern Work (Office 365 productivity stuff), Developer Tools (Visual Studio and Azure DevOps), and a few other large organizations. I thought it was also where GitHub's CEO was reporting into on the org chart anyways too. Azure is actually only Azure metal and services, not everything with "Azure" in the name.
Not saying this isn't bad news or anything ... but GitHub was well and truly already part of MSFT during my time there. 🤷🏻♀️
infosec_j@mttaggart@infosec.exchange oh neat, even more reasons for people to get the fuck off of github, cool, cool
TheTomas@mttaggart@infosec.exchange Come on, everybody knew, this will happen someday. Support #codeberg or even better: Use your own #Forgejo instance.
TaggartGonna just repost this here. https://taggart-tech.com/migrate-to-codeberg/
martinsnygg@mttaggart@infosec.exchange Excellent! Was looking for ways to migrate 👍
TaggartIf I were a cynical so-and-so, I'd wonder how long that "opt-in to training on your code" thing is gonna last.
cR0w@mttaggart@infosec.exchange Debating putting every fake and / or broken PoC in a repo along with vulnerable forks of outdated versions of applications and copious amounts of confident but erroneous comments. Then I'll opt in and let Copilot smoke on that a bit.
@mttaggart@infosec.exchange Oh I didn't realize they were respecting that.
Taggart@Epic_Null@infosec.exchange Even Meta tells the truth about its grody terms. Doing otherwise is pointlessly leaning in to costly class actions.
