The company I work for moved to Gitlab because we were pessimistic on GitHub in the past few years. I don’t really have a strong opinion on which is better though, I still keep my private repositories on GitHub. However, I feel that Microsoft will start feeling the pain soon as more people in the development community get sour on GitHub.

Why do you think they will feel the pain ever?

Github had been in growth mode up until the acquisition. If Github stops being the nirvana for developers that it once was, it will be another dark mark in the history of MS acquisitions. Moreover, considering how sentiment influenced the stock market is at the moment, continued news of one of their products having outages could easily shed a considerable amount of Microsoft’s valuation, ~1%. The say stocks only go up nowadays, but when everything goes up, whoever grows at the slowest rate is really going down. I‘d assume that the Microsoft executive team won’t be happy with the new perception of Github.

Likely unrelated, but I recently noticed that GitHub stopped updating my activities overview for july. I definitely pushed commits, but they are not noticed. Anyone else having a similar issue?

Are you pushing to master branch?

Yes, I was. However, I was pushing to master of a fork. Maybe thats the reason.

Had the same issue this morning. The lagging status always causes the issue of "is it you, me or GitHub?" snaffoos. Really annoying to have these issues so consistently. Would switch to gitea or similar in a moment given the choice.

Just a friendly correction: `SNAFU:' Situation Normal: All Fucked Up

I had never given any thought to this word as I had heard and used it since childhood, had no idea that was the origin!

Also having outages at Azure DevOps Pipelines every other month or so it seems. And that's paying - for hours there's no mention on the status page and we are stuck there, not being able to merge PRs or release our app in the standard way.

This is weird because we haven't encountered any real issues with agents in Azure DevOps pipelines. I think we maybe had a single downtime in last 6 months. They recently removed .NET Core 2.2 SDK without any notice and broke our builds but that's another thing.

Maybe it has something to do with us using the macOS hosts/agents? For deprecating things, I know that they sometimes do brownouts, see https://devblogs.microsoft.com/devops/removing-older-images-...
