It's common, but I always find it weird when the manager of a division of a company is called the "CEO". Satya Nadella is the CEO of Github because Github is part of Microsoft.
What is a CEO if not a high level manager?

A good opportunity for a new git hosting service to emerge to fill the void.

Everything at Microsoft is seen primarily as an AI platform, but especially developer focused stuff is all AI. They've rolled up all the Azure stuff on our account team to be represented by our "Cloud and AI" specialist, even though we aren't using AI in any of our PaaS/IaaS Azure usage
Microsoft is one of big ones to tank big if AI boom fizzles out.

isnt it a rails mpa with some modern layers on top?
For the people who are leaving GitHub due to concerns over Copilot stealing their code, where are you going? GitLab? Self hosting your own?
I always have a private Gitea instance running for my private projects. VPS are cheap in 2025 and it doesn't eat much resources.

Documentation for it looks pretty straightforward; are you doing anything special for security besides a reverse proxy?
I've seen enough: as the recognised authority and designated responsible person ;) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7525256 I'm officially recognising this as the final end of 2010s Cool Microsoft.

> Well, here we are then. This now officially the standard play for formerly-dominating computer-platform firms who have fallen on hard times: having before been proudly hard-nosed and proprietary, publicly see the light and present a new image as a new, kinder, gentler company which totally gets it about openness. Former famous examples: IBM under Lou Gerstner (we love Linux and open platforms!), Apple after the NeXT acquisition but before the iPhone (look how expandable our new PowerMacs are; on the software side, we're now an open-systems-loving Unix vendor, and we'll even open-source our kernel!), poor old SGI (we love Linux now! Or, wait ... actually WinNT, whatever.). Sun of course used to go back and forth between being chill dudes who totally get it and more nakedly hard-nosed. As always in these cases, the questions are how far the bright new era of glasnost actually goes in substance (IBM legal's patent monster quietly thrived through all the kinder-gentler period) and how long it lasts (these eras tend to end with the company either dwindling into irrelevance, or finding renewed success and going back to its bad old ways).
Historical debate may now begin.

That's how The Verge is reporting it: # GitHub is no longer independent at Microsoft after CEO resignation ## GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke has resigned, and now GitHub will be part of Microsoft’s AI engineering team. https://www.theverge.com/news/757461/microsoft-github-thomas...
