> GitHub moving into Core AI team

On the one hand, this probably means it gets the funding it needs to keep going strong.

On the other hand, I'm worried that this means that GitHub is going to focus exclusively on building AI features while the core product becomes stale/abandoned.

Did GitHub have a funding problem? They doubled revenue last year, with 40% of that coming from GitHub Copilot. I imagine that for 2025, the increase will be much higher than even that.

I expect that the problem that Microsoft aims to fix is that people can use GitHub effortlessly without locking into Azure and Power Platform

Im more concerned about random breakages. When you have org pressure to add features rapidly shit breaks. Stale would be best case scenario.
