Microsoft’s GitHub, acquired for $7.5 billion in 2018, had the potential to dominate in vibe coding due to its widespread use.
However, recent outages, executive changes, and the rise of newer tools like Cursor and Claude Code by Anthropic have diminished GitHub’s early lead in generative AI.
These issues have impacted major companies like Cisco and have been publicly criticized by software leaders such as Mitchell Hashimoto.
GitHub recently disclosed that an employee’s device was compromised, resulting in the theft of around 3,800 of its code libraries, raising further concerns about its security and reliability.
