Incident number 6 for the month of August, notably on August 6th. This pattern does not bode well.

Four of them were regarding AI/Copilot. So that's really just one long running incident and will probably continue to be 50/50 chance of being down.

Very frustrating, nothing more I can add at this point.

The speed at which GitHub is tanking their reputation is fascinating

Soon we can start posting "GitHub {x} is up!" instead, that's becoming more news-worthy lol. I know they like to blame AI/scaling, but really they are owned by one of the main hyperscalers, so I find that excuse kind of weak..
clickety_clack•12m ago
Maybe they bought an “it has been 1 day since our last incident” board instead of one with numbers you can change, so to save money on buying a new one they just keep having incidents.

Did Microsoft fire all the people working on the GitHub features people actually use?
Topfi•8m ago
I mean, Github doesn't have its own CEO anymore, so arguably.
