The problem is when you stuff your codebase with so much unreviewed vibecoded slop that engineers lose their grasp on how it all works.
Keep pulling the lever, uptime has to improve eventually!

They didn't recommend the extensions. They linked them because they were "merely sharing to build on for this discussion". Is all content in HN supposed to be professional and serious, or are humorous comments in fact allowed when discussing a market leading company who has had regular outages for a year and a half? (Yes, I know the actual reasons why GitHub are struggling.)
> Is all content in HN supposed to be professional and serious No > are humorous comments in fact allowed Yes Neither is what's going on here. It's reckless to share stuff you haven't even looked at yourself, that's fairly basic thing to care about. Sharing "here's a bunch of random GitHub repositories" isn't humor (I think?) nor would it been different if the text was "more professional and serious", whatever that m…
You could have posted a warning to not actually install random extensions. Instead you came across as questioning why anyone would post links to them at all. The poster was clear they didn't actually recommend the extensions. Sharing stuff is fun, and hardly any software posted to HN is professionally reviewed beforehand anyway.

I used to work in a small independent team of 30 people within a large corp, half of which was dev. We used to run our own gitlab on-prem, our CI/CD was also on-prem. It worked perfectly, never had down time, devops guy could configure them on-demand to our needs. Me (and some other guys) also jumped in times to times to help (mostly just ssh into the servers for health check, disk partition, etc.). Then we grew (the…
PMs deciding software infrastructure over the dev teams that the dev teams use, is wild.

I hording my tab in case I need them later (I don't, 99% of the case) but I always have sense of fear that I might need it someday
Every 3-6 months I purge all my tabs, but always dump all URLs to an html file in case I will need them in the future. You never know!
but I still keep it on my browser, maybe someday I would like to fetch LLM and describe my interest over time

Bin chicken is local slang for these horrible birds ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_white_ibis ), and “go full x” is also a common utterance, but I’ve never heard them said together like that.
Ibis’ are fantastic creatures, and don’t deserve the scorn you’ve heaped upon them! Their bin-chicken status is testament to their adaptability, but it’s essentially our fault they’re that way.
So what’s stopping you (or your org) from leaving GitHub?
I started the campaign to move us from Bitbucket to Github before the Microsoft acquisition. If I knew MS would be involved, I'd have campaigned for something else. I would never recommend any Microsoft product. It took ages for us to get permission and licenses. We only recently finished moving the last repos over and shut down Bitbucket. If AWS offered a product like GH, I could probably unilaterally start moving t…

You've a tab from 9 days ago open? Maybe you should be closing your tabs more often :p
I have tabs from like 6 months ago. Modern browsers have gotten pretty good at hibernating unused tabs and restore when needed. And this website is extremely light, it gets restored in milliseconds.
GitHub needs to completely bifurcate their enterprise/paid services from their free services at the infra level.
They have that-ish as an option: https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-cloud@latest/admin/dat... I'm told that GitHub has asserted to us that moving to this model means we would not be exposed to github.com outages. It's not at feature parity with github.com though.
I wonder how much egg is on that exec's face.
