One of GitHub's most staple contributors announced they are abandoning ship due to constant outages. GitHub's COO responds, promising change, but is it all too little too late?

Somehow, not profit
I wonder where it’s gone wrong. What would it have cost github to keep operating decently for the vast majority of small users, and still have a business side?
They probably could have put a few MS ads on the website for Azure or w/e and actually made a profit. Otherwise, they could have just left it alone, it wasn’t hurting or competing with them.
On step 6, the long-term investors certainly don’t profit - but the private equity firms invested in buying up big companies often do. They’re the ones aggressively taking over, cutting costs all over, and selling as soon as the result causes the stock price to jump as they showcase record profits; usually because it will take time for the structure to fall apart.

Microsoft did the same with Skype, but the tech, dont install new ceo or leadership, run it into the ground
