Re: Another GitHub outage in the same day

Can someone in GitHub senior leadership please start paying attention and reprioritise towards actually delivering a product that's at least relatively reliable? I moved my company over to GH enterprise last year (from AzDO) and I'm considering moving us away to another vendor altogether as a result of the constant partial outages. Things that used to "just work" now are slow in the UI, and GH actions fail to schedul…

“ I enjoy GH copilot as much as the next person” So not at all?

Really? I’d be interested to hear more.

Disclaimer: I work in Microsoft (albeit in a quite disconnected part of it, nothing to do with GitHub or Copilot).

Not quite, that one is an earlier outage while this one started at (or a bit before) 19:01 UTC. The history for today is a bit of a mess really: https://www.githubstatus.com/history

They are all being discussed in that thread, the submitted url is just one of the various incident links on the day. Duplicate discussion.

No, it's a new outage -- that's the point! Check the URLs.

That's not the point. The point is it's a duplicate discussion of one of a number of incident links being discussed, all over there.

As an aside, God, Azure DevOps, what a total pile of crap that product is My "favourite" restriction that an Azure DevOps PR description is limited to a pathetic 4000 characters.

My favourite restriction is the fact that colored text doesn't work in dark mode. Why? Because whatever intern they had implement dark mode didn't understand how CSS works, and just slapped !important on all the style changes that make dark mode dark, and thus overwrite the color data.

I ended up writing a browser extension for my team to fix it, because the boss loved to indicate stuff with red/green text.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

One hundred ? Did I read that right?

Yes, millions of people running code agents around the clock, where every tiny change generates a commit, a branch, a PR, and a CI run.

I simply do not believe that all of these people can and want to setup a CI. Some maybe, but even after the agent will recommend it only a fraction of people would actually do it. Why would they?

I moved everything on github to a self hosted foregjo instanse some days ago. I really did not do anything. Created some tokens so that CC could access github and forgejo and my dns API. Self hosting is so much simpler and easier with AI. Expect more people to self host small to medium stuff.
