Took a full 8 years for a Microsoft acquisition to go to shit, which is probably a record. Kudos to the Github team for holding out this long.
I’m still baffled that Minecraft is doing so well, despite the whole Bedrock thing. At this point I think Microsoft just forgot that they bought Mojang.
I just use an offline server, so I wouldn't notice if they had GitHub levels of availability.

They don’t enforce or even default to 2fa to change the account email. In addition, they have no process to get a human to reverse account takeovers. Just a web form that tells you to call a number that redirects you back to a web form
Every day more Microsofty...they should rename to "Your Repository Needs To Restart To Apply Updates"

Why don't companies with chronic outages mimic their stack from top to bottom (i.e. starting with a new domain), then before making a change, make the change on the duplicate stack and blast it with mock requests. Might catch 90% of problems before they make it into the real stack? E.g. every step of GitHub's migration to Azure could be mimicked on the duplicate stack before it's implemented on the primary stack. Is…
If you'd ever worked on a codebase as terrible as I imagine GH's internals are and looked at the git history, you'd find two things:
1) fixing it would require rolling back 100's-1000's of engineer-years of idiocy that make things like testing or refactoring untenable
2) many prior engineers got part of the way through such improvements before leaving or being kicked out. Their efforts mostly just made it worse, because now you never know what sort of terribleness to expect when you open an unfamiliar file.

9% ? /s (though To be honest I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if things go down so bad too at this point either)
Unironically, I think 9% uptime would be "one-tenth of a nine".
1 - 10 ^ -N (multiply by 100 for percent)
So 9% is 0.09 for the calc
1 - 10 ^ -N = 0.09
So
10 ^ -N = 0.91
So
N = -log10 0.91
So 0.09 (9%) reliability is 0.0409586077 of a nine.
And running it thru... a tenth of a nine is 0.2056717653 or about 20.57% reliability
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…
