The first two links miss the idea a bit, I'd say.

I don't often need a web interface to a git repo. I can pull and do everything locally.

What I do use GitHub for is (1) code review and approval process, (2) CICD / actions, (3) releases to push stuff out.

The branch / tag / file browser is a nice addition, but it's not key. Rendering README.md is almost as important, if not more.

Awesome, that's where I can coordinate DDoS attacks with the community, right?

There have been at least three major outages, e.g. git clone of a repo, in the past week alone. All three of which have been unreported (and NOT shown on their incident page), but I have email confirmation from GitHub support of these issues. It's almost time to switch to Gitlab. I have hundreds of repositories, organizations, and packages to transfer, while it will be daunting... I need reliability. I have several p…

To be fair they've been busy fixing the issue of slavery nomenclature in that time too. Respect where respect is due, important issues are being tackled here, you can't do everything at once.

Scaling Rails is hard ? Github needs to move to CDN, static site deployment instead.

I was seeing PRs failing to update & webhooks failing to trigger upon pushing code for 30 minutes before GH's status page acknowledged anything. I'm surprised they don't have monitoring in place that would catch webhooks failing within minutes of the failure beginning.

They used to have real-time graphs and stuff on their status page. That was a thing of the past; with more distributed system, they're probably not sure if the service is down everywhere. If a node somewhere is still up, they might consider the service up. I don't know much, but it's up to the kind of downtime measurement system they have.
