I feel like your entire comment could be ended with "...yet" I'm sure the screws will tighten on it. Unless Microsoft's entire plan is to run it forever, giving blank checks to GitHub, as a way to endear developers to Microsoft. Maybe.
I can't remember - Did Skype have ads before or after Microsoft acquired it?
Does anyone have a source for this news beyond the TNW article that's being shared everywhere? I couldn't find any official announcement from GitHub.
I'm the author of this post. The article has been updated to clarify that I accidentally published it one day before the embargo lifted. GitHub will formally announce the news tomorrow.

When GitHub's financials got leaked in 2016, GitHub's personal accounts accounted for 12.5% of their revenue. GitHub Enterprise was 50%, their organization (= business) accounts were the remaining 37.5% [1]. It's fair to say that the personal accounts are irrelevant from a revenue perspective.

> It's fair to say that the personal accounts are irrelevant from a revenue perspective. Your assertion can only make sense if you also believe that a 12% paycut is irrelevant to your income.
Beyond a certain hand-to-mouth income it is (e.g. 150K vs 132K).
And many people chose pay cuts over personally overworking or stretching their business too thin.
The overly trivial point being behind the parent argument is that 100% of your revenue if better than less than 100%. Which is not always the case in business.
Businesses and freelancer drop gigs all the time to concentrate on where their main income is coming from. If you have a difficult customer or few demanding customers that generate just 20% of your income, it's often wise to drop them to focus on your easier 80%.
While I think this is a great move, don't forget that private repos also means no more free Travis CI. Gitlab CI however offers 2,000 build minutes a month with their integrated CI service. Even if your whole set up takes 10 minutes to build on CI, that's 200 builds a month which is plenty for an individual project that's on a private repo. In other words, I think Gitlab's free private repos + CI is still a better ch…
Circle CI is a great choice for free builds of your private Github project.
If you want free CI, CircleCI is the place to be.

+1 Gitlab is awesome! Cool community oriented developers and a ton of more features. I see no reason too use github when gitlab is just better. It's also offered as a self hosted service.
That’s my exact issue with GitLab. They have a ton of features but they are not the best at any of those features.

What issue are you having on GitLab? Do you mean the attachment limit? https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/support-forum/issues/2654 How large is it on GitHub and BitBucket?
Don't know what it is exactly. But definitely within the last year, I'll occasionally add a >10MB pdf or something and can't push that commit up, broken socket everytime. Same thing occasionally happens with a coworker. I 'fix' it by having someone else push the file, then delete the offending commit. Happens with bash in windows or GitHub Desktop. No one has ever been able to fix it. I have just tried to not use lar…
One of the best uses of GitHub is being able to search for some obscure framework method name or enum constant, and find examples of working code that uses it. This has saved my life many times when trying to figure out how to configure Java frameworks to interact with each other. When searching for this kind of code, you have to wade through an awful lot of repos containing half-baked personal projects, experiments,…
Finding a library with no documentation then Searching GitHub to see personal projects where the owner has already reverse engineered and integrated.
I always admired Github for incentivizing public repositories to promote collaboration and open source. Would hate to see that fade away.

CircleCI's free plan is way too generous. I was on it for a couple years without ever needing to upgrade to paid. I later ended up switching to Codeship, whose free plan was quickly exhausted and now I'm a paying customer of Codeship. If you want free CI, CircleCI is the place to be.
