    Someone from GitHub please give us the tea on what the hell is really going on over there.

      There is no-one at GitHub that is going to help. Not even a CEO of GitHub that will help you.

      There were reports that they're migrating to Azure. Maybe it isn't going so well. I thought AI was supposed for have solved software engineering...

    Sitting at 91% platform uptime over the last 90 days, which is likely inflated due to the perfect uptime over December holidays. My guess is that is attributed to an internal code-freeze and generally reduced traffic.

    None of their services have 99.9% availability.

      Its a true marvel to barely have a single nine of uptime in 2026

      According to that page Actions is absolutely fine today. That seems even less reliable than the official GitHub status page.

      Edit: I do appreciate the aggregate though.

    are they vibe coding their infra? lost count of how many incidents they've had in 2026 alone

      Take this with a grain of salt - several Youtube exposés showed that the Actions code was utter shit before LLM coding was widely available. I'm assuming the tech debt finally sent the product off a cliff.

        Don't think any salt is required. During the Zig departure from GH, there were several GH Actions repo issues where it was highlighted just how bad some of the code is, and there was zero effort from GH to fix the problems or even accept past PRs from the community to fix these things.

        We just got our mandate from on high that we're migrating to GH. You can imagine my joy.

      They had more outages years ago and now it is cronic, and can confirm GitHub is completely unreliable. You should expect an outage almost every week at this point.

      I'm convinced that their wreckless AI chatbots such as Tay.ai [0] with Copilot have been maintaining Github and have replaced the employees at GitHub.

    Imagine hosting a platform where - aside from major projects - it now has to host and build utter dogshit by the truckloads.

    I'm not surprised, and I'm also not surprised by the outages that Anthropic has been having lately

    Just watching Tay.ai and Zoe destroying GitHub, when there is no CEO of GitHub to go to.

    Maybe self-hosting was a good idea after all in the long term. [0]

    This is pure absurdity at this point.
