Microsoft + GitHub = Empowering Developers



In this day, we announced an agreement to acquire GitHub, the world’s leading software development platform. I want to share what this acquisition will mean for our industry and for developers.
The era of the intelligent cloud and intelligent edge is upon us. Computing is becoming embedded in the world, with every part of our daily life and work and every aspect of our society and economy being transformed by digital technology.
Developers are the builders of this new era, writing the world’s code. And GitHub is their home.
As every industry – from precision medicine to precision agriculture, from personalized education to personalized banking – is being impacted by technology, the developer community will only grow in numbers and importance. Developer workflows will drive and influence business processes and functions across the organization – from marketing, sales and service, to IT and HR. And value creation and growth across every industry will increasingly be determined by the choices developers make.
In short, developers will be at the center of solving the world’s most pressing challenges. However, the real power comes when every developer can create together, collaborate, share code and build on each other’s work. In all walks of life, we see the power of communities, and this is true for software development and developers.
That is why we are so excited about today’s announcement. More than 28 million developers already collaborate on GitHub, and it is home to more than 85 million code repositories used by people in nearly every country. From the largest corporations to the smallest startups, GitHub is the destination for developers to learn, share and work together to create software. It’s a destination for Microsoft too. We are the most active organization on GitHub, with more than 2 million “commits,” or updates, made to projects.
Microsoft has been a developer-focused company from the very first product we created to the platforms and tools we offer today. Building technology so that others can build technology is core to our mission to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more.

Microsoft is also committed to empowering communities, from the world’s professionals to IT professionals to gamers. We believe in the power of communities to achieve much more than what their members can do on their own. It’s our ability to work together that helps our dreams become reality, and we are dedicated to cultivating and growing communities to do just that.
And Microsoft is all-in on open source. We have been on a journey with open source, and today we are active in the open source ecosystem, we contribute to open source projects, and some of our most vibrant developer tools and frameworks are open source. When it comes to our commitment to open source, judge us by the actions we have taken in the recent past, our actions today, and in the future.
Given all of this, together with GitHub, we see three clear opportunities ahead.
First, we will empower developers at every stage of the development lifecycle – from ideation to collaboration to deployment to the cloud. Going forward, GitHub will remain an open platform, which any developer can plug into and extend. Developers will continue to be able to use the programming languages, tools and operating systems of their choice for their projects – and will still be able to deploy their code on any cloud and any device.
Second, we will accelerate enterprise developers’ use of GitHub, with our direct sales and partner channels and access to Microsoft’s global cloud infrastructure and services.
Finally, we will bring Microsoft’s developer tools and services to new audiences.
Most importantly, we recognize the responsibility we take on with this agreement. We are committed to being stewards of the GitHub community, which will retain its developer-first ethos, operate independently and remain an open platform. We will always listen to developer feedback and invest in both fundamentals and new capabilities.
Once the acquisition closes later this year, GitHub will be led by CEO Nat Friedman, an open source veteran and founder of Xamarin, who will continue to report to Microsoft Cloud + AI Group Executive Vice President Scott Guthrie; GitHub CEO and Co-Founder Chris Wanstrath will be a technical fellow at Microsoft, also reporting to Scott. You can see how Chris, Nat and I envision the opportunity ahead in this public presentation.
Together we will continue to advance GitHub as a platform loved by developers and trusted by organizations.

實戰 Vibe Coding:利用 Amazon Q Developer CLI 打造經典平台跳躍遊戲

本篇文章將介紹如何透過 Amazon Q Developer CLI 建構一款完整的 2D 平台跳躍遊戲,從初始生成、功能增強,到最終打造出具備多關卡、多樣互動元素的遊戲體驗。特別的是,過程中開發者並未撰寫任何一行程式碼,僅透過自然語言指令與 CLI 對話完成所有工作,實踐「Vibe Coding」( 氛圍編碼 )。 本文作者為 Haowen Huang, AWS Senior Developer Advocate. 擁有 20 年以上電信、互聯網以及雲端運算等行業架構設計、技術及創業管理等豐富經驗,曾任職於 Microsoft、Sun Microsystems 等企業,專注為遊戲、電商、媒體和廣告等企業客戶提供 AI/ML、數據分析和企業數字化轉型等解決方案諮詢服務。 引言 本篇文章 ( English Version ) 將介紹如何使用 Amazon Q Developer CLI ,以 無需撰寫任何程式碼 的方式,打造一款經典的 2D 平台跳躍遊戲。透過「Vibe Coding」( 氛圍編碼 ) 的開發流程,開發者可以藉由簡單的語言提示詞 (prompt),逐步完成從遊戲雛型、功能擴充到完整關卡設計的開發流程。 整體開發流程將分為三個步驟: 1. 生成遊戲雛型 2. 功能擴充強化與畫面調整 3. 導入參考架構建立完整遊戲 環境建置 使用者需先安裝並設定 Amazon Q Developer CLI 。對於 macOS 使用者,可透過下列步驟完成安裝: 下載並安裝 Amazon Q Developer CLI 登入 Builder ID 完成認證 開啟終端機控制與無障礙設定 執行 q doctor 指令檢查 Amazon Q Developer CLI 是否安裝成功: 遊戲開發方面,建議使用 Python 語言與 Pygame 套件,可透過下列指令完成安裝;Pygame 提供以下功能支援: 畫面與動畫渲染 音效播放 鍵盤與搖桿輸入控制 物理模擬與碰撞偵測 多種媒體格式支援(圖片與音效) $ q doctor $ pip install pygame 第一步驟:初步生成遊戲雛型 透過簡單的一句 prompt,Amazon Q Developer CLI 結合 Pyg...

Kronos 如何做到世界級的成績

  由資深華爾街投資人領軍於 2018 年成立,Kronos Research 結合人工智慧、機器學習、高速網路等先進技術,透過進階的資料分析開發出獨家的量化交易預測模型,並使用全自動的交易策略自營,同時作為加密貨幣造市商,提供全球加密貨幣商品的即時報價。至今四年的時間,便擠身全球前五大的加密貨幣量交易團隊,創下 2021 年每日平均交易額 50 億美金,單日最高交易額 230 億美金的記錄。 人才和技術是 Kronos 最重要的兩大要素,團隊採開放式合作、解決問題導向、美式工作風格,Kronos 期許任何職位的夥伴,都能信任彼此、安心發問、共同快速解決問題。主管的管理策略,不同於傳統上對下的管理,而是以幫助者的角色,解決不同的需求,放大每個職位的生產力。我們希望這個產業在台灣能夠茁壯,讓台灣的技術人才知道有這個國際舞台可以發揮。 一窺量化交易技術及團隊 高頻交易跟一般大家熟知的交易最大的差距在於自動化。我們熟知的交易模式多半透過人工,由交易員綜合市場資訊後向交易所下單;高頻交易則是由程式自動判斷市場資訊並且下單。高頻交易多半關注短時間的市場波動,在收到市場報價後,在極短時間透過預先訓練的統計模型做出買賣決策。在高額報酬的背後,結合了不同專業:包括資料科學、統計與機器學習、底層系統優化、以及分散式系統。 高頻交易的流程,從 Market Data Parser 作為源頭持續搜集來自交易所的歷史資料,交由 Alpha Modeling 訓練出可預測未來短時間市場變動的模型。接著交易團隊撰寫策略程式,並依據策略需要套用選擇合適的 Alpha 模型,由極低延遲的交易程式向交易所下單。以下是各模塊的介紹: Market Data Parser(Data Team):高頻交易是一個資料驅動的行業,全面且高正確率的資料對於後續訓練很重要。Kronos Research 在全球十多個機房內有數百台服務器,每天 24 小時不間斷錄製來自交易所的報價單。面對每天 10TB+ 的巨量資料,data team 大量使用雲端分散技術以及自動化技術確保資料流的穩定。 Alpha Modeling(Alpha Team):在投資市場中,Alpha 代表著高於大盤的超額收益,Alpha Model 則代表預測將來市場的數學模型。Alpha Team 透過統計以及機器學習,以敏銳的邏輯跟觀...

利用 Jitsi 建立個人化的視訊會議平台

  近期因為疫情的關係,越來越多企業開始實施分流或在家工作,視訊會議的需求也日益增加。 在商用解決方案選擇上,有不少企業會選擇知名品牌的產品,例如  Cisco Webex 、 Google Meet 、 Microsoft Teams 、 Zoom  都是很不錯的方案。 KKBOX 集團在去年便試行及做好充分 work from home 的準備,今年五月也因應疫情升溫,全員 work from home 至今兩個月有餘。 當然,取之 Open Source,也要對社群有些貢獻。在這一屆 COSCUP,我們要來介紹 Open Source 圈中也很知名,效果也很不錯的一套視訊會議平台: Jitsi 。 除了基本的視訊會議功能外,在最後我們也會示範如何透過 Jitsi 畫面輸出到 YouTube/Twitch 或其他支援 RTMP 的平台進行直播。 由於篇幅有限,且 Jitsi 可以調整的細節非常多。今天我們純粹很快速的示範,如何簡單的建置出一個 Jitsi 環境,並提供單場會議內容錄影或直播。 Jitsi 的文件可以在 這裡 找到。 今天透過 AWS Lightsail 的 $10/month instance(1 core CPU + 2GB RAM + 60GB SSD),作業系統則是 Ubuntu 20.04 來示範。當然,使用其他 VPS 亦可,大同小異,這邊直接跳過 VPS 相關的建置過程。 *firewall 相關資料參考 這裡 及 這裡 。 針對系統做必要的更新 基本的 apt repository 更新: $ sudo apt update 因為後面要示範的會議錄影及直播需要使用 ALSA loopback device,如果是 EC2 or Lightsail 則需要額外安裝 generic kernel( 註 ): $ sudo apt install linux-image-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-extra- virtual 接著做系統套件們的更新: $ sudo apt dist-upgrade $ sudo apt autoremove 如果是 AWS EC2 or Lightsail 則需要另外再將預設的 AWS optimized kernel...
