Don't know, I think you underestimate developers or overestimate how much companies care about this a little bit.
Most cloud providers support teams can see your code if you authorize them to when you open a ticket and most terms include authorization to access your code, even if only for backups or redundancy.
With severless computing I'm even authorizing you provider to take my code, put it god knows where so you can start it up to serve customers.
BTW the argument could be made with data (which in a lot of cases is far more important than the code).
Agreed, Data is more important but that also being stoled by these big crops. The only thing I'm concerned about is Microsoft. Github can be a great resource for them to build DeepCoder . Let's hope I'm wrong about this. 😃

Is it stolen though? GH has had a API for years. All the article says is that they used existing software code (which you can find everywhere thanks to open source) to feed the AI.
I understand your distrust but if you believe your data is being actively stolen by a cloud provider (not talking about privacy related data leaks of companies in general) I think you can likely sue them.
It would be a giant blowback if the database of a customer is being stolen for internal usage against the terms of service. Imagine the PR nightmare and I reckon many people would migrate instantly.
I think it's far easier and less risky for cloud providers to just copy your idea and offer it as a standard service, like AWS seems to be doing from time to time :D
It's okay. I respect your way of thinking too. The thing is that other people should be thinking more about their privacy than they do and if they that's good. Often free is not free and we as developers should be more cautious than others. 😊
Hi Sarthak! You might want to take a look at GitHub's terms of service, specifically the section about private repos.
If you're not OK at GitHub potentially having access to your code under the terms then you should probably consider a self hosted solution.
It really depends on what you're comfortable with.
Point is awareness. You know this, I know this but most developers out there, they are clueless.

True that! Privacy is paramount these days. Companies are out there doing shady things, like selling your location data or... being Facebook :D
