I moved off github in 2016. Moving because Microsoft bought them sounds like a lame reason, true, but as a software engineer I find my life is less "exciting" if I minimize Microsoft's presence in my life.

I moved off too around that time.

I found their internal messaging at that time to be distasteful, and I didn’t want to pay into that.

I wrote about it, but people got the wrong idea- I didn’t care that it was “woke”, I care because I don’t support racism and sexism and so, in essence I was too woke for github.

Here’s the post; I unpublished it because the above context was lost on some hiring managers: https://dijit.svbtle.com/moving-away-from-github

At that time I didn't care what hiring managers thought. I had been working in my country and overseas and got jobs through reputation.
