    This got to be the extinguish phase from the EEE Microsoft playbook. Prior acquisition, Github was very liked and very focus, then Microsoft happened in their embrace phase, telling us EEE was something of the past. While trying to show good faith they extended the platform and this is now the very last phase

      My god what an ancient trope.

      Presumably you realize most current Microsoft employees were not even alive when the EEE memo was written.

      Must we also talk about some decision Henry Ford made in 1906 every time the automaker is mentioned, or something the Gauls did in 200 BC every time England is mentioned?

        I don't know if you know this but 2006 was a lot more recent than 1906, and some of the same people are still there
