and if they ever do something supremely stupid it's easy to move away.

We don’t need to move, this super flammable building hasn’t gone up in flames yet…

It’s Microsoft we’re talking about. Are you sure they don’t fuck it up?

Better to move away now, on our own terms. That’s my opinion.

👌👍 MS is going to prevent you from moving your code. Take the fee win instead of making more work for some low probability future that honestly, I have no idea what you were evening referencing.

low probability future…

Lol, MS is going to enshitify GitHub so hard and everybody with common sense is seeing it coming.

I mean the author has a right to his opinion, as much as you have a right to yours. Time will tell who’s right.
