because Microsoft are known for listening to their customers?

this trivial bug fix took more than a year to be merged:

https://github.com/actions/runner/pull/3157

that bug likely ended up costing customers millions

Why is Microsoft supposed to listen? I'm not happy with them either but I understand their shift in business strategy.

So many people here treat github like it's a utility; it's not. If you're not happy with it, move on to alternatives or make your own version.

> Why is Microsoft supposed to listen?

that's the point isn't it?

GitHub was a product that was loved by its userbase, because it was built by developers for developers

but Microsoft only care about one person, and one person alone: the individual that approves the purchase order

the people who have to suffer actually using the software are unimportant

which explains the rapid descent of GitHub into your standard quality Microsoft product (i.e.: terrible)
