If Microsoft Buys GitHub

If Microsoft actually buys GitHub. Tired of shipping open-source code and not getting paid? Try LinkedIn, quit push those side projects that you never finish and get a real job!

The meme shows a GitHub page overlaid with a LinkedIn advertisement after the caption “If Microsoft actually buys GitHub.” The joke imagines GitHub becoming Microsoft-owned and pushing developers toward corporate employment instead of unpaid open-source projects, parodying LinkedIn’s “get a real job” attitude. It is used as a sarcastic reaction to the Microsoft acquisition of GitHub or fears that GitHub will become more commercial.
