I really wish Graphite had just gone down the path of better Git hosting and reviewing, instead of trying to charge me $40 a month for an AI reviewer. It would be nice to have a real first class alternative to Github

#82I swear this is my fault. I can go weeks without doing infra work. Github does fine, I don't see any hiccups, status page is all green. But the day comes that I need to tweak a deploy flow, or update our testing infra and about halfway through the task I take the whole thing down. It's gotten to the point where when there's an outage I'm the first person people ask what I'm doing...and it's pretty dang consistent....
Just let us know in advance when you want to do infra work from now on, alright?
I’ll try. Lemme know if you need a day off too…

do you know the Pauli-Effect? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauli_effect
Brilliant. I love it

At this point I am thinking of creating a 0 days until github outage website similar to how we had the running joke of 0 days until JS framework dropped.

Too late to create a 0 days since github outage, Too early to create a crypto rugpull about this whole situation.
Born just in time to talk about this situation on hackernews xD (/jk)

I am not even mad that I am slow honestly, this is really funny lol.

#85I would so very much love to see GitHub switch gears from building stuff like Copilot etc and focus on availability

I know a guy who knows a guy who might need a day off haha
And they are gonna give a pizza party if I get them a day off. I am gonna share a slice with ya too.
Doing a github worldwide outage by magical quantum entanglement for a slice of pizza? I think I would take that deal! xD.

A while back I think I heard you on a podcast describing these pain points. Experienced them myself; sounded like a compelling solution. I remember Dagger docs being all about AI a year or two ago, and frankly it put me off, but that seems to have gone again. Is your focus back to CI?
Yes, we are re-focused on CI. We heard loud and clear that we should pick a lane: either a runtime for AI agents, or deterministic CI. We pick CI. Ironically, this makes Dagger even more relevant in the age of coding agents: the bottleneck increasingly is not the ability to generate code, but to reliably test it end-to-end. So the more we all rely on coding agents to produce code, the more we will need a deterministi…
That's good - I'll reconsider Dagger.
Yes, I agree on your assessment. AI means a higher rate of code changes, so you need more robust and fast CI.

Simple solution: do infra work every few months instead of every few weeks.

and we all know why
Because they're moving it to Azure and doing it far too quickly, not taking care to avoid availability issues
yeah, ai slop rush
everyone builds off vibes and moves fast! like no, if you are a mature company you don't need to move fast, in fact you need to move slow
the only thing that can kill e.g. github is if they move fast and break things like they do recently
