A couple of years back github removed free private repos...
Today I discovered:
Free
$0
∞Unlimited private repositories

No, it just means they have other mean of monetizing it.

I don't remember who told it here... but:
If something is for free, it is because you are the product.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

I'm not sure, but I think that happened before Microsoft bought GitHub.

Anyone who would seriously consider storing code on MS should have their head examined.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

Why ? security/theft/IP issues ?

Trust issues.
You can't trust that they won't just abandon the project next week, and you'll be left out in the cold with nowhere to go.

It seems rather unlikely that such a thing would happen without notice. And "nowhere to go" does not apply in the case of git. Plenty of git repos out there, I am just lazy and comfortable with github, and very happy they did this.

But you can't browse to github with the new Edge browser they released today. On the plus side, it will show you the latest icons that allow you to download firefox.

Also.. because.. .NET!
if you want 3 more reasons:
.NET, .NET, .NET.
oh, 3 different reasons?
.NET Core, Blazor, WPF Core, ASP.NET Core ...
Also also, their roots and sprouts, .NET Framework, Mono/Xamarin
But I guess github is like cherry on top, another sprouts, I would say!
At the very leats, I can say with confidence that Microsoft is very good for developers!

Google (or whatever your favorite search engine is) is a fantastic resource. Really.
Case in point - I spend as much time - if not more - googling for solutions as I do writing actual code. The only time I ask a question here is if I simply cannot find anything resembling an appropriate answer that already exists somewhere on the internet. I'm not a trail-blazer, so the way I have it figured is that SOMEBODY has already done (or tried to do) whay I'm trying to do. Unless you'tre on the ABSOLUTE BLEEDING EDGE of development, the answer is probably already out there.
Put in the time to search for it yourself, because you may accidently stumble on another approach that is simpler and/or more appropriate than the way you originally envisioned handling your problem.
Be a developer for god's sake.

That's not the way kiddies do things, these days.
Why go to all the trouble of thinking, when you can just go on facebook or google and talk like an idiot?
The modern translation of "Look at what you have to do, and spend a few minutes thinking about how you're going to do it" is "Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk...

Face it. There are 2 types of people:
0: Self-reliant problem solvers
1: Help vampires
You know you're in trouble when Google returns < 2 pages!
I've only asked 1 question in the 12+ years I've been here...and that was because I simply did not have access to the SQL environment my customer was having problems with. (availability groups)
I've only answered a half-dozen or so questions in QA (when I was really bored) but have found it to be a thankless experience and not worth the effort.
I also wonder if the 'give me codez' mentality is more prevalent in the millennials/younger generation where they've never had to work to find their own answers. Before Google when we started doing this, you had to be type 0 to even get by. Answers were found on the local MSDN or in thick paperbacks...usually accompanied by a lot of trial and error! (and swearing!)

While some individuals may be thankless, I used to take time out and answer questions because it was such a fulfilling experience all by itself (at least for me). Also, you learn plenty by reading other Q&A ( not all of them I know the quality could be really be low with some questions )
Of course, I could be out of touch with the attitude accompanying the Q&A enquirers today as it's been 10 years or so since I was actively and regularly answering queries, and things may have changed (for worse?) since then.

I have tried to make my colleagues understand this a few times using almost the same sentence. I think people are just lazy when they try to get the answer to their problems out of someone rather than thinking and researching about it themselves.
Maybe they're saving the energy for the apocalypse.

I used to save energy for the apocalypse, but I switched to saving ammo, water and MREs.
