YOU NEED TO USE MOAR AI!
Then the load during the working days makes those ripples larger and into outages.

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!
Add in new "productivity" tools that help you move even faster, with even less regards for how much you screw up (even though the tool could be used for you to move at the same speed, but with less screw ups), and an engineering culture which boils down to "Why not?", and you get platforms run by Microsoft that are unable to achieve two nines of reliability.
This is not limited to just pushing code but all the bells and whistles that github added as features under the assumption of some predictable growth are now exceeding the original plans.
I suspect a lot of their existing systems have to be re-architected for unanticipated scale, and it won't happen overnight for sure.
None of which excuses this. Can you imagine someone's reaction in 2017 if you told them that github would be below 90% uptime in 2026? It would be unimaginable.
They’re making political decisions based on what they sell vs what’s actually useful for their use case.
It’s kind of impossible to find out if this is true though.
> Across 170 days with at least one incident · worst day Thu, Nov 20, 2025 (1.1 days)
1.1 days total how is that possible? Scrolling over that day doesn't indicate the math behind the scenes - 1.3 hours single bullet point.
Also Nov 19 has a bullet point 1.3 day outage but total is 8.1 hours
Similarly, i see google releasing advancement after advancement in LLM yet i see antigravity sub where people are crying all time.
Hosting forgejo is really easy as well. It being a single binary makes it really easy to handle with almost zero maintenance.

or just a multifactor of both.

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