It's almost as if only Git is distributed, but people sold out to Github for convenience. Too bad Git lacks a distributed bug tracker and wiki system like Fossil. Guess Github has to fail a lot more for things to change.
Is there a world in which GitHub used an open protocol for the social network part of their product like BlueSky's AT protocol[0]? [0] https://docs.bsky.app/docs/advanced-guides/atproto

I believe Gitea has support for it, not sure to what extent.

As a professional software developer, I want tools that just work that I can rely on. GitHub 99.99% uptime is something I can rely on.

people could not be more clear that their preference is for reliable and easy-to-use centralized services maintained by professionals, and not decentralized systems that require a great deal of user expertise
Thats mostly because of herdmentality not because of a considered approach. Decentralization assumes the majority are anti social.

Decentralization can be hidden from the user, it's an implementation detail.
There's literally a popular decentralized social network.
It's less about the tech, and more about the execution.
Historically we can look at LimeWire or PopcornTime as an example.
Both decentralized, both popular due to the ease-of-use.

I was going insane doubting my SSH knowledge, stopped short of creating new keys thankfully!

Ironically github is sort of the exception that proves the rule: decentralized in the one way that really matters (decoupled development on individual systems), but centralized for easy interaction in the way the market demands.

Yeah, this is not good. I've experienced other outages on their other products (e.g. GitHub Actions), but not even being able to do a basic git pull is an entirely different level.
I'm effectively dead in the water here. I guess I'll go touch some grass. Thank you to the SRE's who are looking at this.
