Microsoft has reportedly acquired GitHub

Microsoft has reportedly acquired GitHub, and could announce the deal as early as Monday. Bloomberg reports that the software giant has agreed to acquire GitHub, and that the company chose Microsoft partly because of CEO Satya Nadella. Business Insider first reported that Microsoft had been in talks with GitHub recently.

Time to move off GitHub?

    His post literally states that he didn't see this coming and wasn't expecting it. Do you have *any* reading comprehension skills?

      It literally states that they were having a good day and then this happened. It doesn't even "literally state" that it made their day worse (it could have made it better). There is no mention of surprise or shock at the event.

      So the question is.. did you respond to the wrong post?
