are they vibe coding their infra? lost count of how many incidents they've had in 2026 alone

They had more outages years ago and now it is cronic, and can confirm GitHub is completely unreliable. You should expect an outage almost every week at this point.

I'm convinced that their wreckless AI chatbots such as Tay.ai [0] with Copilot have been maintaining Github and have replaced the employees at GitHub.

Take this with a grain of salt - several Youtube exposés showed that the Actions code was utter shit before LLM coding was widely available. I'm assuming the tech debt finally sent the product off a cliff.

Don't think any salt is required. During the Zig departure from GH, there were several GH Actions repo issues where it was highlighted just how bad some of the code is, and there was zero effort from GH to fix the problems or even accept past PRs from the community to fix these things.

We just got our mandate from on high that we're migrating to GH. You can imagine my joy.
