Have anyone checked out the status page? It's actually way worse than I thought, I believe this is the first time I am actually witnessing a status page with truly horrible results. https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses

Well then clearly you haven't taken a look at https://status.claude.com.

Neither Forgejo nor Codeberg are owned by _any_ company. Very important distinction.

I worked on the react team while at GitHub and you could easily tell which pages rendered with react vs which were still using turbo. I wish we took perf more seriously as a culture there

Did react render better than turbo or the opposite? I assume a well-optimized turbo page would perform better

Think the world would be a better place if 70-80% uptime were more tolerated. We really don’t need everything available all the time. More time to talk to each other, to think, more “slow time”.

Just don’t like the slop that’s getting us there.

React destroyed perf and used more resources than turbo
