Perhaps the gemini-cli bot arguing with itself is taking its toll https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/issues/16750

https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/issues/16723 is even worse, GitHub shows `5195 remaining items` in the collapsed timeline.

Wow. If you look at all the issues this seems pretty common

Github's recent reliability has honestly been abysmal. Not surprised.

Unless some major customers are moving away, I don't think they are going to seriously care about it.

What is the quality-first, high uptime alternative to GitHub? My employer uses both GitHub and GitLab, and while I think GitLab is better, its quality also frankly sucks. It's riddled with bugs that have just been marinating on the issue tracker for years, and the most common "fix" for gnarly bugs in the CI platform is "revise the documentation to reflect the existing (broken) behavior".

Good thing git is a distributed system

True, workers can still commit to their local git. I've been looking into having a separate git server that we can commit to and add plain ole git hooks to, and just having it be synced with github as a clone.

Check out Gitea. Its kind of a clone of github but you can self host.

It's amazing, before we even had ChatGPT, GitLab was building so much endless slop halfbaked crap in their pursuit of ever more "enterprise checkboxes". Now they have slowed right down, no doubt collapsing under the escalating maintenance weight of all the nonsense that was created, like the canaries in the vibe coding mines telling us of impending doom.

Now you go to their blog, theres a banner at the top announcing "GitLab Agentic AI whatever is GA (GENERAL AVAILABILITY)" and you try to click it its literally a fucking 404 not found. That's the level of their stability and quality. Try it for yourself:

Having just had to buy 4TB of RAM, I appreciate this.

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 :-/

So you still pay them, you do the hosting work, and you get a product with worse features than gitlab?

but you can be smug when theres a github incident, and thats hard to put a price on

You can do that with gitlab.

In my experience companies are moving into GitHub for Copilot and GHA.

GHA maybe, but copilot is just another mid tier player in a congested space.

Doesn't stop folks from wanting to buy the MS brand. Execs are really out of touch these days.
