You can literally watch GitHub explode bit by bit. Take a look at the GitHub Status History; it's hilarious: https://www.githubstatus.com/history .

You know what I think would reverse the trend? More vibe coding!

That's not good enough. You need SKILLS!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Lots of teams embraced actions to run their CI/CD, and GitHub reviews as part of their merge process. And copilot. Basically their SOC2 (or whatever) says they have to use GitHub. I’m guessing they’re regretting it.

> Basically their SOC2 (or whatever) says they have to use GitHub Our SOC2 doesn't specify GitHub by name, but it does require we maintain a record of each PR having been reviewed. I guess in extremis we could email each other patch diffs, and CC the guy responsible for the audit process with the approval...

The Linux kernel uses an email based workflow. You can digitally sign email and add it to an immutable store that can be reviewed.

I think this will continue to happen until they finish migrating to Azure

Haven't they been shown the front door?

If you'd have asked me a few years ago if anything could be an existential threat to github's dominance in the tech community I'd have quickly said no. If they don't get their ops house in order, this will go down as an all-time own goal in our industry.

Yeah, I'm literally looking at GitLab's "Migrate from GitHub" page on their docs site right now. If there's a way to import issues and projects I could be sold.

Maybe it's be reasonable to script using the glab and gh clis? I've never tried anything like that, but I regularly use the glab cli and it's pretty comprehensive.

Anyone have alternatives to recommend? We will be switching after this. Already moved to self-hosted action runners and we are early-stage so switching cost is fairly low.

Codeberg, if your product/project is open source, otherwise try out Tangled.org and Radicle!!

Radicle is the most exciting out of these, imo!

I know you are joking but I'm sure that there is at least one director or VP inside GitHub pushing a new salvation project that must use AI to solve all the problems, when actually the most likely reason is engineers are drawing in tech debt.

Upper management in Microsoft has been bragging about their high percentage of AI generated code lately - and in the meantime we've had several disastrous Windows 11 updates with the potential to brick your machine and a slew of outages at github. I'm sure it might be something else but it's clear part of their current technical approach is utterly broken.
