You’re being really mean. Do you work for GitHub? Or do you just have a habit of taking things too personally? “i bet you can’t do better!” is not how an adult responds to someone expressing their displeasure at the fact that the performance of a service that they / their org is almost certainly paying for is below their needs / expectations. Damn right I couldn’t do better. I’m also not the massive highly paid and t…

100% we rely on others for goods and services, regardless of our ability to perform said service we are able to (and should be able to) judge it. Otherwise everyone would need to be an expert in everything.

In other words, I don't need to be a banana farmer to say a banana is rotten.

In the past two months, they've had over 10 incidents. Are they so hyped by AI features that they're neglecting their core services?

New features are sexy. Core stability is boring. AI is just the latest new feature.

Classic Github for the past few years we are used to it / resilient now.

>I therefore conclude that you are an entitled spoiled brat, or just an annoying person

Or a paying client of GitHub's, venting their frustration that a business critical service is frequently encountering service outages.

I don't care that the system scales to millions of people, my team is a dozen people, that's all I need something to do. And my downtime stats are far less that githubs, and they have never occurred during the working day.

Nobody denies scaling is hard, they simply deny scaling is necessary.

This happens fairly regularly. Do HNers think that Microsoft azure and/or Ruby has a role in it?

Azure is such dogwater - Even a narcoleptic intern could run a more effective cloud service using raspberry pis and a tin can.

A better question would be "is there anyone who doesn't think Azure played a role here?"

There is little incentive for them to invest in stability. Customers will eat the pain because they are so invested in the platform. They will never move away.

Meanwhile all the Staff engineers trying to get promotions are building AI shit.

Status pages can never be trusted.

I always think this should be an incident in itself - why did our status page not reflect the reality of a degraded service? It's so common that they don't, and something user-driven like DownDetector is often more reliable

I don't think an accurate and automated public status page is something any management would want. If it was accurate they wouldn't be able to lie to customers about the uptime. So I always suspect status pages are adjusted manually.
