Imagine working on some feature for weeks, slogging away on code and working with product managers. And then some new CEO comes in and takes all the glory on Twitter.

New GitHub CEO has been in the job for a week and keeps tweeting about new GitHub features that have clearly been in development for ages. Cool that he's excited but there's no visibility for the engineers actually involved.

It's the same when you see GitHub executives slapping their name on a blog post for stuff they probably weren't even involved in.

2 hours after posting these tweets, he started crediting engineers for their work and mentioning them. I'd hope it wasn't prompted by my tweets and was just being courteous, but who knows.

But did they have visibility before?

Not really. You can see my follow up tweet on executive blog posts. IMO it's better for the
@github account since it's a collective rather than a single individual.

I didn’t see it as him taking glory but rather promoting their good work.

I've seen some tweets by the engineers responsible for the new features, so this isn't entirely accurate.

I’d wager that this would be the case in general, no? Very self only do I see CEOs shout-out the individual engineers that work on specific features...
