Ask HN: Is GitHub getting less reliable, or is it just me?

5•_pdp_•2h ago

Is anyone else experiencing persistent reliability issues with GitHub on daily basis? Over the past 2–3 months I've been dealing with a steady stream of problems: rate limiting, Copilot instability, major outages, and recurring issues with tunnels and Codespaces. It's become a real productivity concern.

You're certainly not alone, though it's not that much worse than usual over the last 5 years https://telliott.me/posts/is-github-getting-less-reliable/

more shitty code generated by AI, untested, on a “trust me bro” basis

I only use the source code repositories and have had little trouble in the last few months except for that time there was a network partition.
