I'm curious if GitHub is now a loss leader for Microsoft, or if personal subscriptions were a small portion of their revenue.
I know several people I worked for or did business with that paid for Organization accounts, from Team to Enterprise.

Confusingly it is also dated on the 5th making it look like it should have been announced yesterday...
Yeah, I know. For some reason, when you put a past date in Wordpress and press "schedule," it publishes the article automatically. That's all this was -- a typo.
I'd be interested to see if you do a post-mortem on this - what the consequences were, and what steps you end up taking to ensure that it doesn't happen again.

"Oops" we got a big industry exclusive. Our bad guys!
Are there usually ramifications for leaking stories early like this? Would GitHub be peeved if another source published this before their official PR statement?
I imagine this will harm BitBucket somewhat.
Well, if true -- I'll be canceling my subscription :D Thank you Github / Microsoft! > Due to a scheduling error, we published this story one day before the embargo lifted. This feature isn’t live yet, but Github will formally unveil it tomorrow. When that happens, we’ll update this post with a link to the official announcement. Also... kinda unfair to others.
This will also make me a little more cautious as a consumer, since they're voluntarily removing the incentive for me to pay for their services upfront.

What a weird way to thank a company. I get it, but still.
