This comic is abused so much that I wonder if Randall would ever consider a follow-up poking fun at how it's wielded. It's meaningless in a normative, rather than legal, conversation such as this one.

Microsoft owns Github. Microsoft owns VS Code. VS Code is superior to Atom. Do you need an official comment? It seems abundantly obvious to me. Nat is the CEO of GitHub, not Microsoft, and despite any promises made on a Reddit AMA a year ago, why would they devote resources to two competing editors?
All I really want is to hear an explanation from Nat Friedman, CEO of GitHub, the human being, who said he wouldn't pull resources away from Atom development and then evidently did so soon after, to end all this needless speculation once and for all (and what you've suggested in your comment is still speculation, however plausible it might seem to you). It offers very little solace to the few Atom users still hanging…

I gave up on Atom this month because of the lack of development. Too bad really.
I gave up on Atom when it was released because it was the most slow editor I have ever seen. It single handy bias me against Electron app until I discover VSCode.
For once, I'm not going to complain that something is made in Electron :) It was unusable to me in other ways too.

Compliance with the spirit is the objective. Sometimes the spirit and the letter differ for any number of reasons (many of which are completely reasonable). People tend to get pretty upset when someone is very clearly complying with the letter while flying in complete opposition to the spirit, and it's not always an easy fix.
In that case, it sounds like the letter needs to be fixed. It's not fair to expect people to follow an ephemeral ideal of what the rules are rather than what they're told the rules actually are.
Hi HN, I'm the CEO of GitHub. Everyone at GitHub is really excited about this announcement, and I'm happy to answer any questions. We've wanted to make this change for the last 18 months, but needed our Enterprise business to be big enough to enable the free use of GitHub by the rest of the world. I'm happy to say that it's grown dramatically in the last year, and so we're able to make GitHub free for teams that don'…
Probably not very smart to use this feature, since your so-called "private" repository is an exploit or a leaking employee away from becoming public. Instead, use a self-hosted Gitlab instance or similar, preferably with an external firewall preventing outbound and non-team inbound connections if feasible.
How would that solve the "leaking employee" case?

The marketing team from Microsoft here on HN is amazing. The work you all have been putting in for the last year+ is amazing. It all started with VS Code and has since fanned out into a massive influence. I'd be super curious to see the metrics on ROI with the HN presence.
Are you trying to imply the person above is a microsoft marketing person or something?
But I agree with the statement. The presence of Product Managers, Senior Devs and high ranking managers here on HN is pretty well orchestrated. I mean makes sense.
What do you think will be the response of GitLab?
