Nope. I think all this is mostly virtue signaling and a bit of "GitHub derangement syndrome" in the water.

People are ANGRY about the AI boom impact right now and "microslop" is trending harder than "M$" back in the day.

MH had a weird ass set of Tweets a month or so ago talking about GitHub needing disruption and how the UI was bad. Now it's "Not fun anymore".

I guess you die a hero or live long enough to be irrelevant and shouting at clouds like Stallman.

Work at a company on GH Enterprise. Outside those recent major incidents and a few spots here and there we haven't even noticed issues. It NEVER comes up on engineering or leadership meetings as an issue or risk. Not a single time has GitHubs issues come up as an agenda item. Yeah, YMMV but still...

The writer of this blog post is Mitchell Hashimoto, and he has posted positively about AI, so that doesn't track at all.

The reason people are talking about it is because the decline is rapid. That's worse than the raw downtime. There's a sense that it will be even worse in a year.

I'm not a fan of AI everywhere but I have 0 reason to think this is from AI usage at Microsoft. Still, we talk about the issues a lot. We used to do our project management in GitHub. For whatever reason, projects don't work anymore. You can add an issue to a project and it won't show up. So we moved that part off of GitHub. That's too bad, I liked linking to issues.

If this happens enough, the only thing left will be hosting code, and we'll look at each other and go "we can do this anywhere"
