Once again, GitHub is down. Last time an incident happened was 2 days ago [0]. Could not have happened on a worse day (Monday) and you can see how unreliable GitHub has been. Better of self-hosting. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48418183

Monday is probably the best day for an outage? Everyone's in the office, so you're not disturbing them, and hung over, so you're not hurting their productivity much.

Anything I'd self-host would be down way more often than github.

In my employment from the last 3 years, I saw twice that there were two migrations from internal systems to GitHub. I would think that companies are doing this for cost-cutting measures. It's not like something I am going to research but it'd be interesting that their recent issues are related to large migrations from in-house installations to github and doubly, if that is related to how large companies might be tightening up their spending in the past few years.

GitHub is down for like the nth time this week? Time for some truly ground breaking statements like this is the result of LLM (yes it is I know)

This has gotten to a point where it doesn't really matter anymore. When a service crosses a certain reliability threshold it's like a phase change. The customer base eventually adapts to the situation. Anyone who still genuinely cares has moved to self hosted enterprise or something else by now. It was most tenuous for me when they almost met the SLA. Now that they've blown so far beyond it, the stress is mostly gone.
