Nothing is pissing me off more than GitHub's stability going down the tubes RIGHT as work is migrating everything, and I mean everything, from CircleCI to GH.<p>The wildest thing is that Azure Repos/Pipelines was better than this.<p>Their one caveat is also that they are still migrating it to Azure infra, so it's possible that's still in a one foot in one foot out kinda scenario, from what I've heard. But, this isn't inspiring confidence.
I'm on the other side of the fence. We're just about done migrating from GitHub to GitLab (self-hosted) and it's been refreshing to DGAF about any of the GH outages I read about.
Mee too. We just did a very similar migration at work it's incredibly frustrating, I've got all my CI ported over and now this.<p>MSFT should just create slophub.com they'd make money im sure.
Why do you care about github? It’s Just another corporation doing what they know best: harvesting money. The software ecosystem can live without github just fine

so where should people move to instead
With Ghostty being the latest project to leave GitHub, it does make me wonder who will leave next.<p>I don't expect everybody and their nan to leave GitHub by next wednesday and spin up their own Forgejo server, but I do think GitHub should be worried that people are finally looking to move away from them.
Let's be honest there's an order of magnitude or more higher throughput volume of PR jitter and new repo bloat which makes this look like a viral digital native at scale.. couple that with being owned by one of the most scale immature companies on the planet ... of course it's a problem.<p>Get these folks off Azure and Cosmos DB (or whatever MSFT forces them to use) to something real and maybe you'd have a shot
Is it me, or did get issues get a lot worse with the transfer to MSFT?
Even after decades, the policy is the same:<p>Embrace, extend, and extinguish.
I think is more related to vibe coding
Definitely not, I remember some 4 years ago some random bug in a github-supported github-action and a comment in an issue saying: "I heard the team responsible for this action was laid off, don't expect a fix". This was shortly after the microsoft acquisition.<p>But the vibe coding BS probably made it 10 times worse.
> But the vibe coding BS probably made it 10 times worse.<p>Yup, keep seeing this in various companies. Teams that were effective and did solid engineering now are more effective and does even better engineering. Teams that were effectively already just "boilerplate monkies" now produce a lot more code than before, but the quality is the same so effectively they're worse at contributing now than before, and take more shortcuts, not less.<p>From my point of view, agents are amplifiers, so if you usually build spaghetti projects, agents just help you do that faster, not avoid the spaghetti altogether. If you usually build well-designed stuff, they can help you put that together faster.
Agreed. In general the amount and variety of bugs introduced since everyone started vibing is worrying. It is probably a national security concern but I guess so is the economy tanking due to failed AI investments. Guess we will see
Is it just me, or [thing that has been repeated a billion times every day on this and every other website]
It is absolutely not just you
Is Gitlab doing better at this point? Or where do they stand?
It isn't surprising at all, Microsoft is doing a PE firm playbook with what they buy. You don't need to look much far, let's think about its biggest acquisition to date, Blizzard.<p>Blizzcon canceled. All of its IP barely got any love.<p>See what players think about the latest World of Warcraft patch. It's absolutely shit and broken. People say they fired the entire QA department since a few years back and since then the quality has just gone down.<p>They buy those businesses because they have nothing to do with that free cash flow, and for accounting reasons it makes sense to have them.<p>They didn't buy those businesses to develop it further and make it worth more.<p>Github will just become ever more irrelevant.<p>The key issue is that the US governments let those huge monopolies exist, and then use their money to buy other businesses and enshiftify them.<p>Unless that changes in the US, this will continue happening.
