Docs - Microsoft are making their MS Learn repos private for most of their docs

I was going to do a blog about Sonnet 5.5 today, as this is what is making the rounds, and probably will cover it tomorrow.

However, the news about Microsoft making their MS Learn repos private for most of their docs is so disappointing that I could not ignore it.

Again thanks to Merill I stumbled upon this:

Which lead to Changes to Microsoft Learn’s public documentation repositories

This is truly the saddest day for Microsoft community and open-source enthusiasts alike. I tend to submit changes and contributions to Microsoft Learn repos frequently, and this move will significantly hinder the collaborative spirit and transparency that the community has come to rely on.

Absolutely disheartening.

Sadder still that Microsoft disabled comments after they got flooded with criticism from the community.

Maybe it is not too late to reverse course, pretty please? 😭

In case Microsoft will remove the comments and/or take the page down, here is a local copy of the discussion for reference.

Truly saddening and disappointing.
