Microsoft’s dominance in vibe coding was bolstered by GitHub, acquired for $7.5 billion in 2018.
However, recent outages, executive changes, and the rise of competitors like Cursor and Anthropic’s Claude Code have eroded GitHub’s early lead in generative AI.
These reliability issues have impacted major companies like Cisco and drawn criticism from industry leaders such as Mitchell Hashimoto of HashiCorp, who noted that GitHub’s frequent outages hinder serious work.
This presents a challenge for CEO Satya Nadella as he seeks to reshape Microsoft’s AI strategy.
