I wish I could say something smart such as “People/Organisations should host their own git servers“, but as someone who had the misfortune of doing that in the past I rather have a non-functional GitHub.

Why are there outages everywhere all the time now? AWS, Azure, GitHub, Cloudflare, etc. Is this the result of "vibe coding"? Because before "vibe coding", I don't remember having this many outages around the clock. Just saying.

They fired a ton of employees with no rhyme or reason to cut costs, this was the predictable outcome. It will get worse if it ever gets better. The funny thing is that the over hiring during the pandemic also had the predictable result of mass lay-offs. Whoever manages HR should be the ones fired after two back to back disasters like this.

And yet we keep paying the company

I think it has more to do with layoffs. "Why do we need so many people to keep things running!?! We never have downtime!!"

Which the true reason for AI, reducing payroll costs.

> We are seeing failures for some git http operations and are investigating

It's not just HTTPS, I can't push via SSH either.

I'm not convinced it's just "some" operations either; every single one I've tried fails.

GitHub is pretty easily the most unreliable service I've used in the past five years. Is GitLab better in this regard? At this point my trust in GitHub is essentially zero - they don't deserve my money any longer.

You can make it as reliable as you want by hosting it on prem.
