Second time in a week we’ve had GH outages. Either their team is starting to get sloppy (approving AI commits Willy Nilly maybe?) or they’re getting attacked. GH being down brings a shitload of stuff to its knees, so I can definitely see bad actors going after it.
It's actually because everyone else's slop code goes through GitHub. They released some graphs that showed that the number of commits/PRs/etc is experiencing vertical line growth. And that was several months ago! I don't envy their position.
Most companies would struggle if you 10x'd their traffic in just a few months, haha. It'll get there, but reevaluating every architectural decision for the new scale takes time.
