#302To everyone who is angry: calm down. Github’s servers are constantly on fire as their usage increased something like 50x due to LLM sloppers pushing large amounts of trash code Unless you have a emergency hotfix (you don’t), go hit the gym or walk outside. If a work tool going down triggers you enough mentally to start angrily ranting online, it’s a sign you need to chill out and focus more on your health
It has nothing to do with load.

is the infrastructure of the free tier shared with that of paid users? That might be the issue. Otherwise if usage of paid users scales, then it would be fine.

We cannot pull any actions images (or how it is called) for example.

#307/pull/:id/changes is not working, but /pull/:id.diff _is_. It seems parts of the API is also ok? some gh commands I tried worked.
Files changed works on the mobile app somehow. I guess a particular api version or something is down.
Anyway if someone needs files changed and merge status, check the mobile app. Past actions are also loading on that.

That's an overly optimistic view of things. For a lot of us GitHub is critical infrastructure, which if it goes down loses us and our customers money.

#309The LLM code influx is not the problem. Microsoft mismanagement is: https://damrnelson.github.io/github-historical-uptime/

#310Why haven't we all moved off GitHub yet? Or let me ask a more useful question: if we were to move, then to where? Ideally somewhere new (not Gitlab)
