Well yeah, but just imagine how much money they’re saving by delivering a subpar experience!

#24The Github website is slow everywhere. It is truly a piece of shit software both in terms of performance but also UX/UI and everything in between. It's a product of many cooks and their brilliant ideas and KPIs, a social network for devs and code being the most "brilliant" of them all. For day to day dev operations is something so mediocre even Gitlab looks like the golden standard compared to Github. And no, the pro…

#26GitHub Actions is such a pain to use just because of how sluggish it feels. I hope they’ll improve performance.

#29Unfortunately this is the fate of most modern sites, they start off simple then they start bloating the website with social media and analytics. SV blokes don't care or notice on their $5k+ top of the line laptops but for everyone else it's an issue
Re: The GitHub website is slow on Safari
#30I've read comments online (here on HN) that Github has been rewriting their UI in React and that it's got slower since. I have no knowledge if this is true or not (ie React -> speed direct correlation), and my own projects are small enough not to see any performance impact. Does anyone have concrete information?
They just pushed a new redesigned page for pull request diffs- must have bloated the DOM.
