I have a serious question, not trying to start a flame war. A. Are these major issues with cloud/SaaS tools becoming more common, or is it just that they get a lot more coverage now? It seems like we see major issues across AWS, GCP, Azure, Github, etc. at least monthly now and I don't remember that being the case in the past. B. If it's becoming more common, what are the reasons? I can think of a few, but I don't kn…

Been on GitHub for a long time. It feels like they're more often. It used to be yearly if at all that GitHub was noticably impacted. Now it's monthly, and recently, seemingly weekly.

I suspect that the Azure migration is influencing this one. Just a bunch of legacy stuff being moved around along with Azure not really being the most reliable on top... I can't imagine it's easy.

In the early days of GitHub (like before 2010) outages were extremely common.

I agree, for what that's worth.

However, this is an unexpected bell curve. I wonder if GitHub is seeing more frequent adversarial action lately. Alternatively, perhaps there is a premature reliance on new technology at play.

Not from my recollection. Not like this. BitBucket on the other hand had a several day outage at one point. That one I do recall.

I remember periods of time when GitHub was down every few weeks, my impression is that it's become more stable over the years.

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.

The reason I detest those who push AI as a technological solution. I think AI as a field is interesting but highly immature, but it's been over hyped to the point of absurdity, and now it is having real negative pressure on wages. That pressure has carry over effects and I agree that we're starting to observe those.

FYI in an emergency you can edit files directly on Github without the need to use git. Edit: ugh... if you rely on GH Actions for workflows though actions/checkout@v4 is also currently experiencing the git issues, so no dice if you depend on that.

Can you create a branch through GitHub UI?

side effect that isn't immediately obvious: all raw.githubusercontent.com content responds with a "404: Not Found" response.

this has broken a few pipeline jobs for me, seems like they're underplaying this incident
