Forgive me if this is off topic, but since Ruby and Heroku (and Rails and
...) use GH ... I'm really upset about the acquisition of GitHub by The
Company That Shall Not Be Named.
Clearly I have a bias. I have been a happy little coder, thinking about
Github with warm fuzzy thoughts about all the great innovative work going
on and my little miniscule contribution to that. Now the site is associated
with what I consider to be one of the worst companies of all time. Honestly
I feel blindsided and betrayed.
Your mileage may vary ?

I agree, there's already enough places to offload your anger. I don't think
this is the best place to do so.

Hi Sean,
Personally, I find it confusing why anyone should be upset about this deal.
I, on the other hand, is happy for GitHub, they are on a near-death spiral,
burning cash with no profit. If you were the founder of GitHub you would do
the same.
Even the CEO is so frustrated he's been wanting to step down close to a
year now but they couldn't find a better CEO to replace him.
Read this thread on twitter for continuation:

IMO, I think everyone just needs to chill and start to see the positive
side of this deal.
Regards,
Mayowa
