Funny, because just yesterday I was downvoted for pointing out (among other things) GitHub's less than stellar reliability these past few years.

When are the AI vibe coders going to create a GitHub replacement? With 1000x AI productivity a lean startup should easily outcompete the incumbents, no?

Yeah, especially if you deploy it on Azure...

I am surprised at how much github is willing to let themselves go for being a product that can nowadays be replaced by someone over the weekend. This is the second major outage within like 2 weeks.

Depends how much customization you've done to your cicd and how heavily you use custom GHA, and other plugins. No way my org could move off in a weekend.

The cloud is someone else’s computer. I wonder if self hosting is more reliable. How much does a private and firewalled git* instance need updates?

Before gitlabs, github, etc. it was common to host your own code repos on-prem. The thing now, though, is that there's a lot of add-on functionality for how teams flow from using github over just hosting a git server.... so it's not really apples v oranges, anymore.
