• GitHub Free & GitHub Pro users

    Weโ€™re also excited to provide every developer with up to 60 hours free (90 hours for Pro plan users) per month of free Codespaces usage so they can start building in seconds and join us in our mission to accelerate human progress through developer collaboration.

    Whatโ€™s this mean to you, it means your customer has a week or 2 of a cloud virtual machine to code with at zero dollars, I am writing this blog from a codespace, cool huh?

  • Microsoft is committed to Open Source.

This is a record that a big tech firm is listed so many times on the open source by community contributors.

Not MS employees, contributors outside the MS organisation ๐Ÿ’— the products that they spend their time on contributing back to open source, for those of us from an open source background, having a big tech listed there so many times is unheard of and shows Microsofts commitment to open source.

This means people ๐Ÿ’— Microsoft without being forced to, they like what we do and why we do it. I can wax lyrical on open source and internet cypherpunk ideologies all day but this makes me super stoked for the future.
