  @theo GitHub Actions has been down for 16 hours and 31 minutes today. That's an entire dev workday where nothing shipped at companies depending on a service Microsoft paid $7.5B for. Theo isn't the only one ready to leave. He's just the loudest right now. Look at the 30-day record. GitHub posted 97.6% availability. That's 17.5 hours of downtime this month across 11 separate incidents. For developer infrastructure that thousands of CI/CD pipelines and production deploys depend on. April 23 was the worst. A merge queue bug silently produced incorrect merge commits for 2,092 PRs. Changes from previously merged PRs got reverted by subsequent merges. The bug ran 3.5 hours before anyone noticed because it didn't trigger availability monitoring. GitHub silently corrupted 2,092 merges and found out from customer support tickets. Bad merges are worse than downtime. They quietly poison codebases for weeks. The structural read on why this is happening now. Microsoft acquired GitHub in 2018 and integrated it into the Azure stack. Cost-cutting hit the GitHub-native engineering team. Senior infra engineers left. The remaining team got told to ship more product (Copilot, Codespaces, Actions) on the same reliability headcount. You can't add product complexity faster than reliability investment. The bill is arriving in 2026. GitLab, Bitbucket, and self-hosted Forgejo are sitting there waiting. Switching cost was high in 2020 when GitHub had a stability advantage. In 2026 it's starting to look like the lower-cost option. Microsoft has six months before the migrations become structural.

  @thsottiaux @SIGKITTEN Did you guys fix the conversations and projects vanishing from Codex Sidebar after restart. Still can't access my projects or conversations unless I search for them. Saw some github stuff about it too

  Benefit of being in a nation where most people don't even know about Github, is that this doesn't happen to me. Never even experienced an outage in few years.

  REALITY: Windows is trash, GitHub was down most of the day, they just nerfed Copilot usage, and are about to be in hot water over Scam Altman. CEO: Copilot can delete your inbox now too! They have learned nothing.

  The stack: @Tiny_Fish - real browser verifies every deploy, OAuth flow, E2E scenario. @FireworksAI_HQ - failure diagnosis in 1.4s via gpt-oss. Suggest Fix via Kimi K2.5. @ComposioHQ_ - every GitHub + Slack action. They asked me to add AgentDesk to their community showcase.

  @ekemini58110 @github Basic code suggestions = the everyday autocomplete in your editor (like VS Code). As you type, it finishes a line or suggests the next few words of simple code for free and unlimited. Code reviews = the advanced feature where Copilot analyzes a file, selection, or full pull request. It spots bugs, suggests fixes, explains issues, or improves the code. That uses your AI credits because it's heavier AI work.

  GitHub is being really upfront about their recent outages. Turns out "agentic development" workflows are driving a HUGE 30x increase in demand, causing merge queue bugs and search issues. They're massively scaling infra, isolating systems, and moving to multi-cloud. Glad to see the transparency! #GitHub #DevOps

  I think the @github is overdone. They are owned by one of the biggest cloud providers in the world though…you’d think they could throw compute at the problem.

  @theo GitHub is very slow now

  @GergelyOrosz I lost a load of issues, they showed up hours later after I'd wasted more time re-creating them. Github is getting flakier the more AI they add and use.
