On: Phil Haack quit Microsoft for GitHub

[jroseattle]

Phil did a great job both before and after his MS career. He will do well at GitHub as well. He's one of the good guys in the C# world, and both GitHub and Microsoft will benefit from this.

Now I have to ask: who are the bad guys in C# world?

[jroseattle → kkowalczyk]

Phil is good in the sense of being very community-oriented, among other attributes. It's not that others are "bad", just that Phil is a great ambassador for C# developers in the world-at-large.

If the good guys are Haack, Hanselman, and Conery, then the bad guys are nearly everyone else.

I'm straight up evil.

You're not evil, Jon, you just profit from being evil.

I knew I avoided you for some reason.

I am.

I'm sure you mean both before and during his MS career. His post MS career is about 12 hours old :-)

But I'm sure he'll do well with it.

[jroseattle → traskjd]

Yes, and duly noted.
