It's starting to really look like the AI effect. It might be coincidence but I've noticed a lot more downtime and bad software lately. The last Nvidia drivers gave me a blue screen (last week or so), and speaking about Windows, I froze updates last year because it was clear they were introducing a bunch of issues with every update (not to mention unwanted features).

I like AI but actually not for coding because code quality is correlated to how well you understand the underlying systems you're building on, and AI is not really reasoning on this level at all. It's clearly synthesizing training data and it's useful in limited ways.

Every day more Microsofty...they should rename to "Your Repository Needs To Restart To Apply Updates"

I wonder what the average career tenure of the userbase here is now, because Github was slow and flaky well before Microsoft got involved.

Maybe it wasn't as noticeable when Github had less features, but our CI runners and other automation using the API a decade ago always had weekly issues caused by Github being down/degraded.

Remember when GitHub was cool? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

I remember. My GitHub user ID is #5907, account created 2008-04-08T20:27:36Z. I think it is inevitable that all good things come to an end, but it's still a bummer to see.

As do I. Mine is even earlier as well!

Took a full 8 years for a Microsoft acquisition to go to shit, which is probably a record. Kudos to the Github team for holding out this long.

To be fair a bunch of this is because the CEO after Nat Friedman (Thomas Dohmke) was pushed out in August 25.

Who was also the last CEO, right? Is this a coincidence?

github is at one nine, basically: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47428035

I once worked at a place with more micro services than engineers. We joked about "we have as many 8s of uptime as you need!"

Currently consulting somwhere with 30 services per engineer. I cannot convince them this is hell. Maybe that makes it my personal hell.

The worst part of all this is that GitHub's CTO and VP of Engineering sent out the usual "here's what we'll do to fix things" letter to their larger customers and, without exaggeration, it boiled down to: 1) "Here's a bunch of stuff we already did!" which... clearly isn't working, and 2) "We're continuing our Azure migration." also clearly not working. So needless to say, if you depend on GitHub for critical business…

ooooh, they're migrating to Azure, now everything makes sense.

How fast was Skype?

MSFT acquired Skype in 2011, so I would say only a few months:
