I think they may need to do that once again. Almost every product of theirs feels like a dumpster fire. GitHub is down constantly, Windows 11 is a nightmare and instead of patching things they're adding stupid features nobody asked for. I think they need to stop and really look closely at what they're prioritizing.
What has changed at GitHub to cause this?
Their primary goal in the last year was to move to Azure. Any massive infra migration is going to cause issues.
What? No, no it's not. The entire discipline of Infrastructure and Systems engineering are dedicated to doing these sorts of things. There are well-worn paths to making stable changes. I've done a dozen massive infrastructure migrations, some at companies bigger than Github, and I've never once come close to this sort of instability.
This is a botched infrastructure migration, onto a frankly inferior platform, not something that just happens to everyone.
What has changed at GitHub to cause this?
Artificial intelligence, Azure integration, many other things.
Took a full 8 years for a Microsoft acquisition to go to shit, which is probably a record. Kudos to the Github team for holding out this long.
Anyone else notice other Microsoft cloud services ( for instance inside azure ) with bad performance also? I can’t be specific but we are constantly complaining.
Remember when GitHub was cool? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
