It's pretty obvious that these changes are from Micro$oft. Redesigning the feed, adding a pro tag, etc. They all seem geared toward emphasizing the social aspect of GitHub, for future integration with LinkedIn or what we don't yet know. I agree that no change isn't realistic, but GitHub has always been a place to code, not link your LinkedIn profile or socialize. I fear that if they go down this route, they'll go to far and GitHub will lose what made it special in exchange for becoming a "Jack of all trades and a master of none."
Sure, and then we'll hear a never ending stream of whining about how they no longer innovate and GitLab is leaving them in the dust.
The changes are fine, get over it.
It's incredible how resistant to change people are.
