Open Source gurus go to Microsoft

Recently, more and more well-known programmers from the Open Source movements are going to work at Microsoft. It is not clear what this is connected with (does the crisis affect or does Microsoft really change for the better ?).

Sam Ruby (Sam Ruby), Open Source advocate, head of the Apache Software Foundation, creator of feedvalidator.org, one of the creators of the Atom format, the author of Venus, etc., became the next “migrant”.

Sam Ruby moved to Microsoft from IBM, as reported in his blog. It should be noted that at IBM he worked continuously since 1981, they took him right from his student seat. By the way, in his blog, he recalls that in those times, it was IBM, and not Microsoft, that was considered the “evil empire”.
