I mean, as far as counter arguments go, github had plenty of downtime before LLMs, and they didn't deal with exponential growth then. If you don't count the "it gets harder" side but only counts the "they had problems" side, then yea, that might look bad, but that's not very honest imo.

Not looking up the outage stats for Github (not sure how accurate they are historically). But going off by what I notice on HN the past months / year, it definitely seems like GH is experiencing more downtown than pre-2022.

But maybe I'm misremembering how fragile GH was in the 2010s.

Sure. They also have 10x the load or something crazy like that. It's rather incredible that it's still up at all. Microsoft must be pouring crazy amounts of money down that drain and gnashing their teeth at their decision to buy GitHub.

		I don't really give them an excuse for the "10x load increase". The company that owns GitHub is literally a hyperscaler. If they can't handle the scale, there's something seriously wrong at Azure.
