Prepare for GitHub CEO AMA on Reddit #79

Closed TwiN closed 5 years ago

TwiN commented 6 years ago

The new CEO of GitHub, Nat Friedman, will be doing an AMA on Reddit in a few days. Proof

Also, see https://natfriedman.github.io/hello/

Prepare your questions wisely.

Tbh, I'm already pissed at the guy. He says he's been a developer since he was 6.

"Why are you such sniveling waste of human excrement and what original sin did humanity commit to deserve you?"

You're probably just venting, @Citizen163, but please, if you're going to say things like that, do that as an individual, not as part of this effort. Don't undermine the values we claim to hold and expect other people to hold.

That's not what I would write if I had a Reddit account and the time of day. I'm just echoing the questions that are most likely going to be asked, hence the quotation marks.

I think if there is one question that should be asked under the banner of this group, it is #88.

He's the former Xamarin CEO, why would you think he's bad in any way? He's not a personification of Microsoft, he's someone that's likely to be well received by people interested in free software, that will be replaced by a corporate drone a year or two down the path.

Why was a Microsoft employee chosen to lead the independent Github? The last three major acquisitions by Microsoft (Nokia, Mojang and LinkedIn) are all lead by pre-acquisition staff.

He won't answer it fully and isn't necessarily the right guy to ask but the pre-prepared PR answer will be interesting.

Hey guys. I love the work you've been doing. Not everyone loves mine. Please read Issue 114.

Hello,

The GitHub Evacuation Project has moved to GitLab (not an endorsement or even a final home). Your enthusiasm and contribution is still needed. Please check out the new project home, and read the project wiki for info to get restarted.

Thank you!
