Incident with Actions – Resolved • Hacker News Board

If everyone is vibecoding, and SaaS plays have no moats anymore, and everyone says they are mad at Github's reliability...why aren't there like 10 viable replacements already?

Why are you still using Github?

All the more reason to donate to Forgejo/Codeberg[1][2] or contribute the code to SourceHut[3].

Down to 84.88% uptime: https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses/

Why don’t they just raise GitHub actions prices? Supply and demand, that would sort itself

My theory is that vibecoded replacements haven't succeeded for the same reason why GitHub's quality has declined: because vibecoding/AI software development isn't as efficient as believed when measuring real-world outcomes.

One (small, stupid) reason for me is claude code works really well the gh cli.
