It didn't. If you had a complimentary Copilot Pro plan, you'll continue to have it so you're good!

I've been at GitHub for 7 years and we operate independently but have the support and resources of Microsoft when we need them. IMO, they've been amazing partners but day to day the GitHub team builds, prioritizes, and supports GitHub.

It's totally the smart thing to do. Github needs a ton of cloud compute with github actions, Azure powers it. Github brings a very strong brand that developers love, which gives Microsoft a good rep amongst technical folks.

This is as good as Google acquiring Youtube because Youtube needs an insane amount bandwidth and it was a perfect fit for Google's infrastructure and ad platform.

It's just sad to see Google not playing the Developers game well.

Do you think they're going to try and push us towards azure more, or force us into using Microsoft logins?

Today we've announced that we've signed an agreement to acquire NPM but we technically have not acquired them yet (referred to as "closed"). NPM is still their own company for now and that's why the language is future tense.

"Github is acquiring npm" then. "NPM is joining Github" sounds like you're just using Github to host your stuff.

Using the "is joining" phrasing is a classic way to try to spin an acquisition as some kind of partnership. 99% of the time, it's definitely not.

I literally thought that, clicked hide, then thought "Wait a minute, do they mean...?" and had to go fish it out of hidden items.

"Joining" is an interesting term here... but I suppose it won because it sounds more like something friendly humans would do. "NPM Is Breaking Bread and Sharing with Github as Special Friends."

Then saying "GitHub is acquiring NPM" would've been a more accurate way to say this.

You shouldn't notice a webhook deluge because the site isn't generating events. I'm watching our webhook services though and will let you know if that changes.

Hi Kyle!

It looks like webhooks are wedged.. no?

Everything should be A-OK now. If not, hit up github.com/contact :)

And we just shipped that via http://git.io/1hV9Ug and you can get the events through the API at https://developer.github.com/v3/issues/events/

:D

Definitely a great idea. Keep an eye on webhooks...

I was really intrigued until I realized it was all IAP and copies of existing games.

Were have you seen Polycraft or Save the Day before?

technoweenie works at GitHub :)

Not ashamed to say I'm still working towards that ideal. My project is a start for me. It was too good of an example of doing that I couldn't point it out. It could have been anyone in my feed.

It's a little unclear on the site if this is just for Austin folks?

I think they are looking to expand onto other cities "This is the “beta” event and if it goes over as well as they’re anticipating, the first “official” event will be in May and then Montreal in July."
