worked for me pushing some commits about 20 minutes ago.

At this point, "GH is down" posts are competing with "Newest LLM Hype" for the HN front-page week over week. For my personal project, I've been considering moving everything over to Codeberg. Stability of GH being one reason, but I also like the idea of an alternative that is not strictly tied to a big tech company.

2027: "GitHub is up!"

This is genuinely pathetic. I wish I could do my job this poorly and still be employed.

At this point we can just have a Bot repost this exact submission every day and it would be right more often than not.

This is reaching an unacceptable level of performance. There isn't a week that work isn't interrupted by GH.

Soon on your favorite prediction markets.

At least people are gaining knowledge of how to use the git remote command.

Hilariously, it looks like basically everything except Copilot is degraded. The jokes write themselves sometimes.

I keep wondering what causing such a bad service from GH lately, is it the overuse of AI generated code? Are they trying to cut costs with the infrastructure?

Github has published some incredible usage rate increase numbers, which they ascribe to the rise of agentic coding. At some point, they are going to have to change rate limits, cut free-tier usage, or find some other path to reducing load. It's clear that their infrastructure can't keep up with this significant increase, and it's unlikely that they're going to just absorb the increased costs themselves. Very curious to see what the future holds for Github.

If this was a business running on its own, without Microsoft’s capital and anti competitive practices, they would have been out of business by now.

oh no, anyway...

Here we go again...

Github has 84.92% uptime in the last 90 days according to https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses I don't know how this is even remotely close to acceptable.

One of the most satisfying (and sad that it’s needed) GH CLI extensions I’ve (publicly) vibe coded has been https://github.com/Houstonwp/gh-down Although I think I still ironically end up finding out about the outages on HN first.

I have been writing lots of code lately And I still only have local git repository. I do not like why git doesn't have a built in bug or issue tracker and a kanban board or something. I wished Git and Fossil hybrid should have won. I thought about using fossil many times but it seems codex and claude have deeper integration with git. I don't like installing software which keeps growing into infinite feature Monster. Maybe I'll install gitea or forgjo idk. That's the last piece of puzzle remaining for me I've already mastered deployment and HA on bare metal from OVH and Hertzner, already have scaled to tons of users

Wow, GitHub are no longer serious people. Unbelievable.

The amount of damage Github has done to its brand is something so phenomenal that I think it might be studied in future case studies. Skype and Github were two microsoft products which everyone used until they degraded it. Windows itself can be included in it too now.

I'm moving everything to self hosted GitLab CE now. Will just use GitHub as a backup. This is so ridiculous at this point.
