GitHub: Where everything comes to die



Summary: We're about to resume the long-running series about the sick clique which ran GitHub until the assault on women became too much of a liability (among other wrongdoings and PR blunders)

LAST year when we started this series (in wintertime) we said it would go on well into spring. Later we said summertime. We still have a lot of material, but we're waiting for the strategic time prior to publication. Months ago we published the arrest record of Balabhadra (Alex) Graveley and soon afterwards we saw Miguel de Icaza leaving Microsoft, though Nat Friedman had left also. So a lot has changed since we started and we probably won't comment on Friedman's wife (nepotism). Privacy aspects outweigh public interest at this point.

"Months ago we published the arrest record of Balabhadra (Alex) Graveley and soon afterwards we saw Miguel de Icaza leaving Microsoft, though Nat Friedman had left also."That series, however, will resume shortly. The Friedmans are still doing things and de Icaza isn't really retired. It's just scandals piling up, rendering them liabilities, even in Microsoft's books.

So expect a lot more to come, many more parts (there might be over 30 in total) although bear in mind these will likely be published at a more strategic time. Team Mono has been ejected from Microsoft (Friedman, de Icaza, Graveley) and there's a lot more to come regarding the overall strategy of GitHub. If you're still using GitHub at any capacity, stop now. It's never "too late" to leave.

"If you're still using GitHub at any capacity, stop now. It's never "too late" to leave."Friedman's departure spared him and his wife lot of public embarrassment. "This is Nat Friedman's high school," a source recently told us. "Boarding school outside of DC; his father was not always a stockbroker..."

Further, the source told me: "I have noticed there is a pattern of switching back-and-forth between the intelligence community and finance..."

Nat Friedman has some 'spooky' -- as in surveillance -- patents, as noted much earlier in our series (yes, those were software patents), but that's not the important point. As noted in Part 18, there's a lot of overlap between GitHub and the NSA. This, in turn, relates to a lot of FUD we've seen in the media lately, seeking to portray the "Open Source" so-called "supply chain" as the real issue, not the back doors found in the most commonly used proprietary software. And a lot of this "supply chain" is Microsoft (NPM, GitHub etc.) so the finger should be pointing not at victims or attackers but the party transmitting the malware. Microsoft facilitates the security breaches. It's the essential bridge.

"This, in turn, relates to a lot of FUD we've seen in the media lately, seeking to portray the "Open Source" so-called "supply chain" as the real issue, not the back doors found in the most commonly used proprietary software."A source has further suggested that we "should consider looking into the Stripe mafia bolt thing."

Incidentally, Stripe provides similar services to those offered by Sheela Zemlin (Bakkt, 'first lady' of Linux Foundation, a GitHub outsourcer), also sponsored by Microsoft.

"All comes back to Nat Friedman," the sourced noted, naming the culpability of YCombinator (so-called 'Hacker' so-called 'News'), which Graveley too was involved with, not to mention Gab's founder Andrew Torba and the disgraced chief. Graveley is very likely going to spend some very long time in prison, not corporate life, so his dad would be spared the embarrassment (albeit he too is connected to the military).
