Great news for everyone bar startups competing with them as it looks like Microsoft is turning their multi-billion acquisition of GitHub into a loss leader to get as many devs using their platform as possible, no doubt to flex seamless integrations into Azure which looks like they're executing exceptionally well with their acquisitions & new feature giveaways.

From the side-lines it looks like they're slowly becoming an unstoppable dominant force, what's surprising to me is AWS's / GCP's inaction, they're either asleep at the wheel or they don't see Microsoft's dev mindshare grab as a threat.

Not true.

The new Team plan will be a downgrade in specs from the old teams plan. For example it only includes 3000 Github Action minutes. The old plan included 10000. The next plan up would be > 2 * old price.

You can buy extra build minutes. The missing 7k minutes would cost $56, which means teams with 12 or more devs who are using the full 10k minutes will be better off. Smaller teams using more than 10k will be worse off.

It’s probably great news for the vast majority of teams.

This is only true if you're using exclusively Linux runners. If those same 7,000 minutes are on macOS, you're paying $560. On Windows, $112. At my company, we definitely use a mixture of all three for various things, so this will sting, with varying degrees, depending on how often we build new iOS, Mac, and Windows releases.

Builds on macOS and Windows already depleted your minutes credit with a multiplier (Windows 2x, macOS 10x), so this shouldn't change anything
