Down? No sir we are not down. There are elevated error rates and degraded performance.

An isolated group of customers are experiencing elevated error rates and degraded performance. FTFY. (I've read AWS word it like that)

Technucally a set is a subset of itself.

It's starting to really look like the AI effect. It might be coincidence but I've noticed a lot more downtime and bad software lately. The last Nvidia drivers gave me a blue screen (last week or so), and speaking about Windows, I froze updates last year because it was clear they were introducing a bunch of issues with every update (not to mention unwanted features). I like AI but actually not for coding because code…

GitHub has been unreliable since before AI. Though it's definitely gotten far worse. Seemingly the decline started with the Microsoft acquisition in 2018, and subsequent "unlimited private repository" change in 2019 (to match Gitlab's popular offer)

One example is the search being broken for CI logs. It takes over your browser's search hotkey too. What happens is every stage of the log is collapsed so the search doesn't work until you trigger the expansion but if you attempt to search before expanding the search will never work after it's been initialized. It's pretty infuriating when you're trying to find something in a giant build log.

Github CEO must be on HN, right? If so, any comments?

They have not even bothered to implement entra login when they have their competitors login for years, do they even know what their product is? Or are you just a middle man for slop?

Does anyone else ever think "that code I just pushed into my repo just took down all of github..." whenever it goes down around the same time you sync your changes?

github is at one nine, basically: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47428035

I once worked at a place with more micro services than engineers. We joked about "we have as many 8s of uptime as you need!"

We pride ourself on 9 5s!

Just moved a project of mine to Gitlab. Created this very simple component with codex that will keep a mirror updated on GitHub for me, so I can focus development on Gitlab.
