I think we can agree the data is correct enough to ascribe a trend with a strong statistical significance no? Enough to draw a conclusion
We can clearly draw a conclusion that their availability is getting worse, but that's not what your original comment claimed. You said "I can't really remember any significant downtime before the Microsoft acquisition and the data supports my memories", but my memories differ (as do other commenters), and the accuracy of the supporting data seems questionable.
ok.

> However, works with significant human input are covered by copyright, and most code does have such input. Human review, and correction is very common. There is a lot of AI generated code out there, and there are no cases challenging the copyright on it. Legislation and court decisions still pending. There are numerous lawsuits about copyrigtability of output, and right of use of copyrighted work by LLMs, and both c…
If I write a program of 1000 lines of code, with AI features turned off, then I turned the AI features on and use a completion to edit one function, can my program not be copyrighted? (I expect/hope you’ll say: “Of course it’s still eligible for copyright”) How about if I write 100 lines myself, turn the AI features on, vibe code 100 lines, and repeat this for five cycles? Half the functions are AI coded and half the…
> And what if I tell Claude to write the program
Why should this be any different than when telling/paying a human to write the program?
You're free to enter an agreement assigning all rights to the employer or the worker, to license the work ir/revokably and/or non/transferably. There is no need to wait for a court decision to understand what the results will be.

This is extremely interesting how fast this happened. Either AI use surged massively in the last quarter, or this is a very sneaky move by Anthropic. Looking at my own stats, I don't think I'm using Claude Code much more than I used to, but my commits have gone way up. I have a feeling they've tuned the models recently to commit more often, which gives the illusion of more work being done.
> Either AI use surged massively in the last quarter December 2025 is considered by many people to be a major step function in agentic coding (both due to improvements in harnesses and LLMs themselves). I know my coding has forever changed since then. Before I was basically always hands on the keyboard while working with AI. Now I'm running experiments with multiple agents over the weekend, only periodically checking…
> Each experiment is a branch (or work-tree) so yes there are a lot of commits happening, but the results are measurably real.
If you are correct , and GitHub is scaling its compute mostly as a reaction to this externality (agents churning through code that will mostly be discarded), then you can look forward to getting billed for your usage. After all, it is hard to build a scalable system without back-pressure.
Re: Incident with Issues and Webhooks – Resolved
#245Anyone have a nice way of mirroring between two forges such as GitHub and GitLab? I know git can push to multiple remotes but that only solves the problem for me, I still have to mirror commits from others. I want to keep repo configs in sync too.
I’m using forgejo mirrors to push my local repo to GitHub, seems to work well.

Forgejo is a thing. But the headlines lately make it sound like it’s not in great shape either.
Could you expand? I couldn't find anything relevant after a few search attempts.
Yeah, look for HN headlines with forgejo and carrot (iirc). It made a lot of noise in the last couple weeks.
Re: Incident with Issues and Webhooks – Resolved
#247Honestly, if GH keeps getting worse I may need to migrate away to Forgejo or something. The problem is GHA... Does anyone know of a service that is better and doesn't charge me an arm and a leg for runners (particularly MacOS ones)? I've been wanting to shift away from GHA for ages (because I hate it) but I don't know of any alternatives that are quite like it (or the costs involved).
Founder of WarpBuild here. We provide GHA runners that are much faster and about half the cost. This includes MacOS. Check us out.

What part of the wording gives you that impression? On these topics, the post literally just says the following: "bottlenecks that appeared faster than expected from moving webhooks to a different backend (out of MySQL)" "Similarly, we accelerated parts of migrating performance or scale sensitive code out of Ruby monolith into Go" (in a paragraph specifically about "critical services like git and GitHub Actions") Bot…
> While we were already in progress of migrating out of our smaller custom data centers into public cloud, we started working on path to multi cloud. This longer-term measure is necessary to achieve the level of resilience, low latency, and flexibility that will be needed in the future. That paragraph read, to me at least, that the initial targeted changes were just the tip of the iceberg and that much heavier liftin…
"smaller custom data centers into public cloud" is talking about their Azure migration, so "multi cloud" would almost certainly mean extending a presence into AWS and/or GCP (or maybe others like OCI).
I'm sorry but I really don't see how you're drawing conclusions about this meaning a move off of Ruby and MySQL entirely. That's a huuuge logical leap away from what is written in this post, and you originally stated it in a way that indicated this was a fact.

It isn't. Lots of unacceptable things going on these days and everyone seems to be accepting them just fine.
We should make an alternative git site, but how to acquire users?

IMO, they're reaching the point of no return. I don't think they can horizontally-scale their way out of the hole they dug themselves unless they separate their free and paid infra maybe... which doesn't seem likely considering how their other infra changes are going. In the same way you need to be 10x better for someone to consider switching to your product, if you get 10x worse your competitors get a free 10x by ju…
I think there's a very good chance you're right. Their reputation is obviously severely harmed, and high profile projects like Ghostty leaving may be a canary in the coalmine. Something creative like separating their free and paid tiers may help them. I suspect the fact that all of this is happening to them along with their migration to Azure is probably complicating their ability to adapt their infrastructure.
What if I told you most enterprise customers don't even use the cloud offering and aren't impacted by any of this? Companies like Apple use GHES, and honestly thats where most of their revenue comes from, not the free offering.
