Do y'all have any evidence that github's recent outages are caused by slopcode rather than the significant increase in load, which is exactly what Github & MS have been claiming as the root cause?

I'm tired of these BS stories being pushed by green accounts on HN like there's some damn agenda by someone who thinks their job will be saved "if only the CEOs realized that Slopcode Bad".

I mean one of those makes them look better than the other. That makes it tricky to be able to tell what is truth vs half truth vs a lie. You're right though, based off of what they claim, their great success is the cause of their failure.

How hard is it to up scale their servers though...

Orange account? I'm tired of the financially invested pushing their agenda. My job is secure, thanks. I don't work in the bullshit industry.

I have zero investments in agentic coding; in fact, my list of investments is pretty public, so I don't really know what point you're trying to make. But creating a new account to try to defend yourself against a threat you claim to be non-existent doesn't scream "I feel secure" to me.
