That's how The Verge is reporting it:
# GitHub is no longer independent at Microsoft after CEO resignation
## GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke has resigned, and now GitHub will be part of Microsoft’s AI engineering team.

Infernally known as the "move fast break things" org
I mean, to be fair, it seems to be the prevailing culture in GitHub for a while now, to quote Nat Friedman[1]; "It's important to do things fast . . . Going fast makes you focus on what's important; there's no time for bullshit".

I always knew Vista was a window into hell
Everything at Microsoft is seen primarily as an AI platform, but especially developer focused stuff is all AI. They've rolled up all the Azure stuff on our account team to be represented by our "Cloud and AI" specialist, even though we aren't using AI in any of our PaaS/IaaS Azure usage
Microsoft is one of big ones to tank big if AI boom fizzles out.
Eh, I don't think so. They've realigned basically everything to have some kind of AI component, or the dev story to be AI heavy but if AI evaporates tomorrow Azure is still there, Microsoft 365 is still there. It would be a hit to their growth story but they wouldn't be out of business

That’s worrying given how far behind its perceived the CoreAI products are relative to competitors.
Don’t tell me you’re surprised.
