So, if you use JS NPM on Windows written in VS Code then pushed to GitHub, that's a lot of Microsoft products. What do you make of this news?

This sounds great tbh, they'll likely get a lot more resources (look at how much GitHub has improved recently) and better integrations between Github and NPM sounds great too.

I agree! I think it's good news. NPM's previous funding strategy of VC money with no other real revenue was not going to end well for the end user. I believe GitHub is a safe(r) pair of hands.

It's all fun and games until GitHub BLUE SCREENS!!!! Jk, but if it worked that way, it'd be hilarious.

I hope that they will come up with auto-release sync like PHP packagist!
