Thanks. When I tried to use the https://www.githubstatus.com/ link it wouldn't let me submit. Now I will remember to use the incident link in the future. I hadn't noticed that before.

Is this only GitHub? I noticed other pages and services being extremely slow or erroring more often. Claude errored on file uploads, LinkedIn took 1minute+ to load a simple page.

Not a huge surprise but Azure DevOps, seems to have the same issue. https://status.dev.azure.com/_event/742338411

The real lock-in is stars, not reliability [1].

They can have weekly outages, and the FOSS products would still be forced to be on GitHub.

I have literally never looked at github stars as a measure of quality or had it affect my decision. I have looked at git logs, websites, issues, etc. But I would be genuinely worried if someone used github stars as an indication. So many honestly stupid projects have a lot of stars, and stellar ones have next to none.

proof here. The top are taken by chinese educational repos. Elastic Search and Spring Boot are the only projects actually used by anyone in the top 10. But why would I trust the stars for spring boot over the fact its used in every java shop on the planet?
