> the GitHub team is shit, their tech stack is shit 1) Criticism of being unable to achieve service is not a fault of the individual; it simply is a fault of the system. You can criticise the system, it's permissible. Especially if they have more resources than many countries and some of the best tech talent in the world on staff. 2) Their tech stack is shit, and they've gone on record for years defending it, quite a…
>not intellectually curious or open This checks out. I once was at a conference where they (Azure) had a giant booth. A fairly well known person in the community brings me over to talk to his manager who is working the booth. "We should hire him, he's really smart." Within a minute of talking to this manager he says "You're a Linux guy? We do Windows." and physically turns away from me, conversation over. You know, f…
Wow - why anyone would build a serious Saas platform this day and age on Windows is beyond me.

#133LOL! Perfect. one change request: brighter should be more intense. Right now the more intense days are dark red and to a color blind person like me, that doesn't pop out.
Re: Red Squares – GitHub outages as contributions
#134I wonder how well this corolates with azure incidents. Especially for the US regions.
I live in Europe. I've not noticed these constant outages. But I only use GitHub after work.
I've started experiencing them first time during Q1 this year up until now. Used to be pretty stable before that.

They were sucking 5 years ago before agents existed. I don’t think this has anything to do with recent changes. https://damrnelson.github.io/github-historical-uptime/
That’s nonsense. GitHub didn’t have 100% uptime before 2020. I remember downtime back then. And Microsoft didn’t make changes that fast. The only thing that changed is the accuracy of their status page. Also go back and look at the unofficial status page from 3 years ago. It’s regularly above 99% and has been dropping steadily since then. Then in the last 3 months has dropped to below 85%.
This is coming from github’s status page. You need to reconcile memory of downtime with github’s official record.
I’ve been using github pretty much daily since 2010 and I never had a push fail or a repo be unavailable until recently.

#136Azure was always bad but this is next level.

Whoa, if that is even remotely accurate then the talk about agents is a complete red herring.
If I remember correctly the status page was not precise before the acquisition - so take with a big grain of salt the 100% pre-acquisition values
I remember the status page being quite accurate before the acquisition.
I don’t like this whole casting of doubt upon sources without providing superior or even alternate sources.
It makes it hard to discuss when one person presents a source and another says “I’m not sure that is accurate.” In a vague way.
What am I supposed to do with that? Research more sources that may or may not align with how you feel?

I suspect it’s caused because Microsoft is using buggy Microsoft tech instead of the original stack. They’re making political decisions based on what they sell vs what’s actually useful for their use case. It’s kind of impossible to find out if this is true though.
That doesn’t track because GitHub Enterprise Cloud has great uptime. This is all load based, vibe coded ai slop code shipped at record numbers from users who will never convert to paid. The real question is what are they doing about that?
How is github enterprise cloud uptime tracked?
Re: Red Squares – GitHub outages as contributions
#139This idea has been around! I made this one in January to help slice and dice uptime by incident category. https://isgithubcooked.com
The answer is: yes

I agree. I am not color blind, but some more contrast would be helpful. Thanks for sharing!
