Weird, I've been told you can just throw AI at all your logs and metrics and it can magically solve all the things...
My blackest Monday today. Deepseek is off/too expensive, Claude tokens out for 3 days, kimi refuses, and Github down for the whole afternoon. Maybe I'll take the week off
I encourage everyone to switch to Forgejo. We ditched GitHub and could not be happier. The experience is smoother, faster and distraction-free. Our runners are faster, our CI is smoother than ever. Transitioning was a matter of a few hours, which we took as a fun hackaton.
PSA: git repo can be hosted without a "provider" and any ssh address is a valid origin url: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-on-the-Server-Setting-Up-... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuIdBfjL62s
The LLM code influx is not the problem. Microsoft mismanagement is: https://damrnelson.github.io/github-historical-uptime/

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?

This is a very distorted lens.
Many on the outside might say the US is very pro-self and anti-everyone-else right now! America first, right?
Well, take a random country. We'll make a made-up one called Tristonia. Should Tristonia do things in Tristonia's best interests? Absolutely! If Tristonia had some kind of military or economic threat from another country, should they take steps to protect their country, resources, and people from the threat? Absolutely! The same thing the US would do.
Most of these people aren't necessarily anti-US, they're against being beholden to another country, especially one that has been incredibly... inconsistent, as of late.

The quality and performance of GitHub enterprise has degraded horribly this year. Their problems are self-inflicted and influx is just an excuse. Despite minimal new features, and drastically increasing hardware resources to keep up, self-hosted GitHub enterprise went from things being instant to most requests taking many seconds. And activity on issues in one repository tends to mysteriously re-open issues with the…
Do you think they have such measures in place? I remember when my indention wasn't spotless our university rejected my commits or if my function complexity was too high.. Tears in my eyes.. I think it was called Gerrit Code Review.

Because any price at all will immediately cause users to shift to another platform, and GitHub's value is that it is _the_ place to put your code on the internet.
The network effects isn’t that much, and like what we see with Steam, you want to be where the audience is. More realistically, MAU or something is a metric/OKR. It’s easy to imagine why a business wouldn’t want to cap that.
There are people in this thread that have said their biggest reason for not moving away is the network effect.
My work llm provider is GitHub copilot and we are completely blocked since morning. My question is who’s comparable to copilot vscode and cli. Multi model is table stakes.
I recall reading years ago that cloud services were expected to run with a reliability of 3 or 4 '9's and that if they didn't competing services would quickly overtake them in adoption. The industry was supposed to be that cut throat. Has big tech reached a similar status like banks in that they are "too big to fail" i.e. when they do fail we all just look the other way and say: "well everyone else is out too". Didn'…
I think AI is going to change this. Once you've built around github you feel locked in, since moving all your CI and other actions out of there, and your workflows out of there, is labor intensive. Now you could migrate from github to another service in a week, maybe less depending on how many workflows you need to move.
It takes a while by hand, but I recently saw a migration of old Jenkins projects to Actions with AI (yea), and it was smooth.
