In unfortunate timing, GitHub is experiencing another incident at this moment, affecting API, Actions, Pages, and Issues/PR's/Projects. https://www.githubstatus.com/incidents/6tcfpztf6j9m

Yeah, from their status page counted that GitHub Actions has had disruptions on 16 of the last 90 days. That's pretty abysmal.

I love all the new features GitHub has added over the past 12-18 months, but I really hope they take a breather at this point and focus solely on reliability. Widespread GitHub outages used to reliably make the front page on HN - now I think we're all so used to it that it's no longer news. That's not a good thing.
