I object to the notion that having "american born engineers" is the cause of their issues.
We're starting to have the conversation of "do we need to replace GitHub as our CI/CD pipeline?" No idea if/when we decide to pull that bandaid but I think once we can't merge a hot fix into main because of GH being down, it'll be a big org push to replace it. What's everyone else using? Self hosted Gitlab? Gitea?

First of all, I highly doubt it. Second, how would you even know that?
I had a lot of goodwill for GitHub but I think today is the tipping point. Looking at a unicorn page, I feel this lingering hope that it's transient (like it usually was in the old days) but my mind reassures me it's probably going to be a long full outage again. The hope is dead.
I’m willing to give them a break as I’m assuming they have a lot of scaling problems due to the influx of LLM assisted coding. But maybe I’m wrong?
So whats the alternative? I'm thinking I'll migrate my company to something self hosted, but what about personal projects?

The UX is so bad. Things don't work as expected. Even basic things like composing an email, copy and pasting, formatting text are always a chore.
Try setting up a Teams integration vs a Slack integration. Gmail is absolutely light years ahead in UX. I really miss working at a company that uses Slack + Google Suites.
If you are required to use a Microsoft tool is Azure DevOps now a better choice? Our Azure hosted instance rarely (if ever) has had an outage that effects our ability to work.
> We are seeing an approximate 20% error rate across numerous experiences including Pull Requests, Issues, and others. Investigations are currently under way and we will be posting updates as they become available Well it's 100% down for me, so does this mean 20% of all users are fully down?
It means it doesn't count towards their uptime at all, I guess, because all their uptime stats are very high for a service that is down more than anything else I use

It also took them 20 minutes to realize that peoples requests to /pull/xx are not working :D
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Copy/paste of a comment I posted a couple months ago: I am not trying to make any excuses for GitHub, however I recall one tweet that made my eyes bug-out: > Yup, platform activity is surging. There were 1 billion commits in 2025. Now, it's 275 million per week, on pace for 14 billion this year if growth remains linear (spoiler: it won't.) > GitHub Actions has grown from 500M minutes/week in 2023 to 1B minutes/week i…
That's fine, but rate limiting is a solved problem at this point. They need to rate-limit free accounts and be realistic about their limits instead of letting the system fail.
