#43Fixed in about 30m to an hour. Definitely annoying, but I'll try the hot take that, contrary to popular belief, GH is not critical infrastructure - or so I hope. Please tell me no part of the Ukrainian air defense system depends on a gh action hook.

#44Good thing git is a distributed system
Virtually no one knows how to do anything with it outside of github.
The problem is that it's not enough. The fact that Github uses Git specifically is a technical detail; it could use mercurial equally easily, as Bitbucket used to. Github Actions, OWNERS files, PRs and review tools, issue tracker, wiki are all not Git features.

I suspect some companies may already be considering it. Especially with the wealth of alternatives today.

That's like 100,000 USD. I keep thinking about making a rap video wearing a 10 TB gold chain surrounded by big booty girls with their naughty bits covered in m.2 SSD's while dissing the AI industry. Though I cant afford the RAM :-/

What kind of alternatives do you see as viable for large(ish) commercial users?

#48I believe it is an Azure outage or some type of MS service - everything on Azure is down.
having no issues on azure here, seeing no azure incidents on the status page or any of my admin panels
… in all seriousness, that is hardly proof that Azure isn't having an outage.
