I'd consider self-hosting GitHub Enterprise before putting my team through the pain of Gitlab.

How is it painful to use GitLab? Curious, as a user of both, I find them both nice. I like GitLab CI/CD more than I do GHA, but that's personal preference/bias more than anything objective.

Everything about their UI/UX screams of doing the bare minimum to check off a box on a feature list. It reminds me of Jira.

is it me or ever since AI coding became the norm, there have been way more outages with otherwise reliable services? I get downtime on Supabase every few weeks. Even Cloudflare. And now Github

Not just you, but uncertain whether it's due to unreviewed slop going to production, or increased demand due to slop generation.

https://isgithubcooked.com Normally I defend GH in the comments of these incidents but it’s been an impressively bad month by their standards, even when you filter for critical components filter out sev-2’s and 3’s.

The UI of that page is so nice, should build a github competitor.

The user profile / contributions and PR UX is pretty much the entire "hub" product since git is a fully separate offline app.

Name one thing Microsoft didn't run into the ground post-acquisition

GH was acquired by microsoft some eight years ago. It has been working quite well until recently. People may have had complaints about functionality, features, commercial issues, but the thing used to at least have a decent uptime until recently.

MSFT was pretty arms length for the first 5-6 years. I was honestly kind of impressed and it made my opinion of MSFT better. But then AI made it too attractive of a target and MSFT couldn't help but make it a place the former CEO wanted to leave (and it has been running headless for about a year now).

It's quite disappointing objectively, but I expected worse from MSFT.

GitHub is not agent scale. Multiple companies are trying to create new versioning primitives/architectures which can handle machine-level code generation - 1 commit per second per repo. It's like switching from horse buggies to automobiles, the whole worlds needs re-architecturing to handle the new load. The age of boutique hand-coding is being replaced by the age of industrial software factories.

Why the heck would you want to do this. Using git as your undo chain sounds like a pretty awful thing to do.

No, it's not just you. It is fairly obvious what's happening - the same old Entshittificators now have a great tool to up the speed of entshitification by 100x - thus these crappy outages every other day.

Is it? Seems a text description of "Make a website outlining 'How cooked GitHub' is with a modern style" to basically any LLM would produce exactly that UI and design, literally nothing of that design a human had any influence on, besides the ones selecting what training data the used LLMs was trained with.

I think most of us who've tried using LLMs for web-design can recognize that style and design at this point, regardless of model actually used.

I think Minecraft is still in good shape
