double entendre: Is it load based or github-employee based that weekends are sparser.

or just a multifactor of both.

Yes

Didn't they blame "AI" for the increased load? I'm not sure why AI usage would be more during the week than the weekend, but it could be.

It does look like Friday outages were a bit rarer, which could be due to having a "no deployments on Friday" rule.

From the chart it seems they should have policy to deploy on weekends only.

The memes are really painful now. I feel for the team that's is trying to survive underwater.

Would be interesting to see if this correlated with their release cycles.

hosteur•23m ago

Well, outages seem to be distributed across all days except weekends. So this seems like people fucking around with stuff being a major factor.

samlinnfer•13m ago

Surely it just means more people working, resulting in more load, resulting in more outages?

figmert•24m ago

Far fewer outages during the weekends. Perfect, wasn't gonna do any work then anyway.

Weekends are the untapped frontier. Still room to scale.

I wonder how well this corolates with azure incidents. Especially for the US regions.

I live in Europe. I've not noticed these constant outages. But I only use GitHub after work.

"Good job, Microsoft, amazing uptime."

Clearly their team needs more LLM usage.

This design is perfect irony. I love it.

Please tell me this makes sense

This website has no overused ai-generated animations and... I quite enjoy it. The original website[1] has a fade-in animation, big round cards, shadows, all the jazz you can think of, it's there.

This site is very readable, very honest and sober. I don't need to sift through buzzwords to figure out tiny details.

Thank you, OP!
