The chief executive officer of Microsoft Corp.’s GitHub is stepping down, a major change for a coding platform grappling with increasing competition over AI tools for programmers.
Thomas Dohmke said Monday that he was leaving the unit he has led for almost four years. In a blog post, he expressed thanks to employees, dubbed Hubbers, for "the ride of a lifetime.” Dohmke will remain at GitHub through the end of this year and then leave to become a founder, he said.
