I sure hope not, GitHub is supposed to be matured infrastructure at this point, where most if not all changes going into production should be very well tested and nothing that multiple people haven't verified as being correct should end up being deployed and released. Besides, Microsoft surely has 24/7 watch of their infrastructure, even on weekends, it's a huge company.
Bugs are a function of change, not a function of maturity. Just because they can have people come in on weekends to fix things doesn’t mean they like doing that. I know many “mature” software platforms that do not deploy on Fridays or off hours at all
A true global company doesn't have off hours.

#13At what point are organisations going to ask themselves wether this is intentional or not. Your velocity is disrupted by a likely competitor. I'd move out.

As someone who runs one of the most global APIs in the world, I promise you, I do in fact sleep

#16Funnily enough, GitLab is also melting down at the moment, with pipelines not running and pull requests not functioning: https://status.gitlab.com/
what's a pull request?

That's why a global team is important, when you sleep they work, when they sleep you work. Work is constant when you're servicing the globe.

A pull request is a process which can merge new code into existing code.
"Software Engineer John was tasked to add a new logo to the website, when he was done he submitted a pull request of his feature branch into his organization's github repository for the website so that his team members could approve the changes before automation (like Github Actions) deployed live as a new version of the website."

Gitlab has "merge requests" the comment you're replying was trying to point out an error in an annoying way
