I object to the notion that having "american born engineers" is the cause of their issues.

#122At this point, they should notify us on days that it's up
Re: Incident with Github.com [resolved]
#123We'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?
blacksmith.sh just raised tens of millions on the core premise that self-hosting CI/CD is hard [0].
they've had multiple outages in the last week, so i guess they are proving themselves correct.
in practice, giving ssh/sudo to AI (codex) and telling it to setup ephemeral self-hosted runners on your own host VM (qemu), takes about 30 minutes and works extremely well. it bangs out all the shell scripts. moved my own business over to it. zero problems.
you might even find it is kind of neat too. you can customize your VM with software pre-installed. speeds up your builds quite a bit.

#124I 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.
They should replace the unicorn image with a horse or at least a zebra during ongoing incidents.

#126Can anyone shed some light why GitHub is having so many problems lately?
People will say LLMs but the issues with GitHub long predate LLMs. It all started when Microsoft acquired them.

#128How did Github become so famous for outages? It is almost like a routine. I haven't used other code repo hosting / CI/CD pipelines platform for last decade, so maybe it's just the nature of this business, I don't know.
By switching to Azure....

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?
I have little sympathy that they're buckling over a problem they helped create.

#130What is the best Github alternative that has something like Github Actions? What is the easiest to switch to? I do not want to switch but it is having too much of an impact on me.
It is time to give up on Github. This is just too much.
