Still remember Baoermo " Developer! Developer! Developer! " ?
Civil | Wang Zhaoyang
American time this Zhou Yi, 7.5 billion dollar sold GitHub evaluate Microsoft.
Appraise of financing of the last time before this is worth Github 2 billion dollar, so this buys valence tower above many. According to Microsoft statement, buy flow to predict the end of the year goes, nate Fulideman will replace Microsoft vice president the position that GitHub currently holds the post ofCEO to overcome Reese Mositelasi, latter joins Microsoft, to the 2 handle of Microsoft, scot Gesili reports the total controller of cloud business.
Have arrangement additionally till Microsoft, gitHub will maintain company independence.
After the message is announced, many Github users were conveyed resent and be anxious. Many people state he want to go from Github change immediately. The data of competitor Gitlab shows, from Github migratory the user that come over is cruel today add.
Nevertheless 4, of 5 digit migratory with user of class of GitHub ten million quantity photograph is compared, hold few number only.
One is bought, two companies, each takes what he needs.
Github held water 2008, it is one offers code control of mandatory, version, the user that allows to come from all over the country is same the platform of a code of software project contribution.
In poineering initial stage, github careful dilate, with the engineer culture management sells a group, manage remotely through achieving a tool oneself, built distinctive company culture, also make a company fast develop, appraise is worth ceaseless promotion. Line hind has done not have a few years on, gitHub development became the program developer community with the greatest whole world.
This website kisses all previous of a lot of famous projects be born: Bit money opened a source formally 2012; By May 2009, node.js is released formally, get of front and back end personage chase after hold in both hands; Swift of new programming language opened a source 2015; 11 code opened Apollo 2016 source; TenserFlow 1.0 was released 2017 -- they choose to open a source on GitHub without one exception.
Accompanying each milepost incident, the user quantity of mandatory website also is in this code to be broken through ceaselessly -- 2017, the user referred more than 2.9 trillion code, pull Request gross also was broken through 100 million. 2018, gross of GitHub predicting user will be achieved 27 million, project gross exceeded 80 million.
But answer relatively with data growth, the problem of GitHub also is being accumulated ceaselessly.
The engineer Parker that works in los angeles is tasted to Pingwest play express, the user of Github experiences worse and worse recently, and the company appears and enough without expenditure energy is raising user experience to go up. The bottom had Github user to publish open letter 2016, critical platform ignores innovation, becoming commonplace.
In addition, realer problem is, the financial standing of Github is not hopeful. This is a company that relies on free appreciation to realize income, user capacity is really much, but the big company that pays fee and advanced user be in the minority, the individual user with little, little scope must not pay major demand fee, dan Rerang these users are dissatisfactory, gitHub still can receive query.
Technical personage often compares idealism, the user is only too anxious to GitHub remains neutral all one's life free, "Had better do a blame to seek profits orgnaization, but this is highbrow. " engineer Parker says.
2016, peng Bo ever announced GitHub in those days financial data, the rate burning money that shows this company is breathtaking. Programmer Moritz Plassnig kept customer of a rich according to these data, if Github continues to burn money so,think, will can last 20 months only.
Of coincidence is, today's buy news to be apart from as it happens went at that time 20 months.
With GitHub sell oneself or a member of one's family real reason phase is compared, microsoft buys it to having more long-term and it seems that more " exalted " intent.
2015, we wrote an article " when falling in love with Microsoft afresh, arrived " . Caption is a bit feigned, think those who say is very simple nevertheless: This company changed the CEO with an oriented technology, also transform train of thought from sell software to become the service that persuades developer to use his, and active still hug opens source community. A such Microsoft, unlike the appearance ten years ago, quite lovely still.
Opening source code mandatory domain, github is absolutely leader; In cloud computation domain, azure is quite competitive player. After buying Github nowadays, you can see the purpose with likely Microsoft: When the typical user when GitHub chooses cloud platform, let Azure make their first selection.
Many person that criticize point out Microsoft to associate with closes and object open history, somebody takes out Microsoft money CEO Steve Baoermo ever described source system Linux is " cancer " black history says a thing, think Microsoft is met probably finish Github. And additionally a few people worry about source platform to devote into a tycoon to be able to be immersed in forestall again.
Really, microsoft classical strategy of ten years, bind all users the zoology in oneself namely in. But this has been the thing of a times, since Nadela since taking office as CEO, of Microsoft close thinking disappears from the scene already inside the company. Main reason depends on PC is brunt equipment no longer, so the operating system position of expert dish PC of Microsoft is inferior to before. Guide in Nadela below, change becomes the Windows system of Microsoft to upgrade freely, the company also begins to change the cloud that send force to the service.
As to open a source, special hug opens Microsoft industry, baoermo is right before changing the manner of Linux, let Visual Studio support Linux, IOS and Android application development even. Actually Github releases data to show this year, the project of Visual Studio Code of Microsoft has more than 15 thousand contributor on GitHub, exceeded front notable project React-Native, and of deepness study domain when red blast child gallinaceous TensorFlow.
Emphasize embracing a cause ceaselessly, this Microsoft pays Zhu Shi time with the action truly. Take next GitHub, hypothesis Microsoft is well-meant, this trades the complete complete a business transaction that means this company to want as dark as the past period. In buying announcement Microsoft also emphasizes, receive the resource of Microsoft GitHub, will bring a profit for more company developer, microsoft will not change GitHub community developer preferential culture, continue to support its independence operation.
"Returned 2018 in order to close be fed up with Microsoft, this thing has a place too 2001. " programmer says on Twitter.
Na Dela remembers clearly, baoermo celebrates arm of the town on congress to halloo in 25 years of Microsoft. Last speech that was that day then, assume office CEO before long Baoermo stands on the stage, sweat is drenched shirt, to the Microsoft below the stage the colleague shouts: Developer! Developer! Developer! (Developer! Developer! Developer! Developer!!
Baoermo is Microsoft -- if not be computer history,go up -- the outstanding software of can be counted on one's fingers sells a Great Master. Had lighted a small flame in his heart probably: The sale has gone, developer just is future.
After 13 years when make a speech that, from online with cloud business, two ever are valued least of all the branch grows the Nadela that rise, had received Microsoft this large ship.
Old later, no matter Nadela is being worn great commonplace still evaluation retires from Microsoft, he knows: Baoermo is intentional make but the acceptance of faint action, he cashed.
