Microsoft employee here. Today is also the Connect conference. My colleagues who worked on live share knew all along that Connect is their deadline.

Which makes me curious, does Github know what Microsoft is going to announce at their conference, or did Microsoft knew what Github is building?

It looks like one of the main authors of atom is presenting today at QConSF too. Seems like dumb luck. :D

Yeah, appears to be dumb luck. You don't put together branding and a demo of real-time collaborative editing in a day.

I prefer to imagine that great minds think alike! :) Or more scientifically speaking, the theory of multiple discovery [1].

The amount of [citation needed]s in that article is too high.

Or it's based on some paired programming hype/growth/buzz that happened months ago and both decided to implement it as an option. I mean it takes a while to implement complex feature sets like this, so maybe some trend in the industry got people in both communities trying to implement this at the same time?

It's not exactly groundbreaking. SubEthaedit did it years ago.

You put developed "the world's most advanced code collaboration experience" as advertised by the website in 48 hours ? Can I hire you somewhere ?

not sure it really matters, either way, we win :) By we I mean coders.
