The GitHub acquisition likely the single catalyst that showed me Microsoft has actually pivoted how they're approaching business, and are at least putting good faith efforts to do better.
With literally 0 actual knowledge to reference on how GitHub has felt since then, outwardly it feels like MSFT has played to all of their strengths (money, infrastructure, money, "developers, "developers", "developers" memes) and amplified what GitHub had been pushing for.
I only hope it stays going well, because it's certainly keeping me engaged in trying more MSFT products and services than I likely would've otherwise even glanced at.
