Who writes Linux and open source software?

> Aiven, an open source cloud data platform company, recently analyzed who's doing what with GitHub open source code projects. They found that the top open source contributors were all companies – Amazon Web Services, Intel, Red Hat, Google, and Microsoft.

> Microsoft!!? Yes, Microsoft. I know, I know, you've been raised up to spit at the very name, and many of you still continue to think Microsoft is the Evil Empire.

> Folks, Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer, neither of whom had any love for open source or Linux, haven't been calling the shots at Microsoft for almost a decade. This is not your dad's Microsoft. In short, get over it.

What a poorly written article with poor subjective arguments

1. not all open source happens on github

2. not all open source happens on a single giant repo

so your data is not representative of open source

millions of open source project with 1-2 contributors vs 10k employees working on an open source piece of their proprietary stack

this is worrying level of tech journalism, revisionist and manipulative
