So Tay.ai and Zoe are still wrecking GitHub infrastructure.

Should have self hosted.

has anyone at MS tried unplugging azure and plugging azure back in yet?

It's Microsoft. You're supposed to Ctrl+Alt+Del.

the day ends in y, water is wet. I really hate that github doesn't have any real competition. Yes, I know about gitlab, but it isnt real competition.

GitHub has been shit lately. What the fuck is going on?

Top-down mandates to use AI as much as possible, and to rip up their infrastructure and move everything to Azure.

This is very worrying if their mandate doesn't include quality control.

Maybe they mandated to use AI for quality control?

Wasn't QC fired a decade ago in most companies?

I figured that it would be something like that. But it's been so frequent that I expect the leadership to act decisively towards a long-term reliability plan. Unfortunately they have near monopoly in this space, so I guess there's not enough incentive to fix the situation.

How frequent? I think the obsession with uptime is annoying. If GitHub is down, if there’s something so critical, then you need some more control of the system. Otherwise take a couple hours and get a coffee or an early lunch.

Frequent enough to interrupt the flow of an entire organization, wasting thousands of hours. Take a look:

Yeah that is pretty bad I guess. For decades 99% has been achievable for many orgs. 92% phew.

But “waste” is arguable. If folks have literally nothing to do when GitHub is down, I question that a bit. For example, design, administrative work (everyone has that), lunch. You know?

Critical CI/CD can use Jenkins, but in that case folks might end up with 89% uptime!

It's not about a single person. I work at a company with over 10k employees, most of them rely on GitHub one way or another. It's not just about PRs and issues; there's a huge amount of automation, workflows, and integrations that depend on GitHub, round the clock. With this kind of uptime it has material impact on productivity of the company as a whole.

Does anything running on Azure have an acceptable uptime?

The appearance of a thread here is so consistent that HN needs a black-bar style indicator for GH outages that points to 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.

That site could use a little more. Maybe a count of how many in the current month and year, tallies for each year, maybe even trends. Could be nice. :)

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)

> Too slow: https://github-incidents.pages.dev/

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