Microsoft is ruining Github

Me when I'm in a self sabotage competition but my opponent is Github

Textbook case of Enshittification

At this point MS is just having an internal competition on which division can make the stupidest decision, the person who wins is the next CEO

My guess is that they're anchoring. They put out something they know everyone will hate. Then they walk it back, and come out with a slightly less bad thing a little later, which everyone will see as "better than what they did before". So I expect some other shitty announcement in a couple weeks.

If github were purely B2B, they would 100% get away with this. But companies keep forgetting that the consumer market reacts very differently to pricing changes than businesses

I love how the new GitHub view tells you diffs are too large to view or there are too many files to show. Like what? That was a non issue on the old view. Enshittification is out of control.

Moved to a single bash file that runs my deployment on a local machine, build times went from 11minutes on github actions to 28 seconds on a single rack that cost us 1,300$ once.

"i don't want to pay for cloud compute and have my data who-knows-where, i will just host it myself" "oh yeah, we'll need money for that too" "what"

Gitlab is just sitting right over there

Microsoft you say? The company that lost a decade making their devs fight in the hunger games, that Microsoft? Well, colour me not-even-slightly surprised!
