I would imagine the majority of Github engineers there currently joined post MS acquisition.

That doesn't necessarily mean they're happy about Azure as a backend.

    I've been a software "engineer" for over 20 years, and my personal experience is that software engineers are basically never happy.

      > personal experience is that software engineers are basically never happy.

      Being happy means:

      - you don't feel the need to automate more manual tasks (you lack laziness)

      - you don't feel the need to make your system faster (you lack impatience)

      - you don't feel the need to make your system better (you lack hubris)

      So basically, happiness is a Sin.

      True enough. The world is never as predictable as the computers we program, and the computers we program are never as predictable as we feel they should be.

      I’ve used AWS for almost 20 years and I can tell you it’s more stable than Azure
