My new projects do not use GitHub, and will not use GitHub as anything more than a mirror. Two nines of reliability isn't enough for devtools.

GitHub is in a tight space right now. The pace of software development is increasing and they are in a load-bearing position. In addition, their GitHub Copilot license was a massive loss-leader both directly costing them money, and making the traffic problem even worse. Simply put, they aren't prioritizing scaling and reliability like they need to be in this current situation and instead are focusing on feature build outs that boil down to being Microsoft's AI Middleman Salesperson.

Their position is hard, but they are potentially fumbling the ball in a big way. I for one don't trust them to not be down right before I want to do a production deploy.
