  I sure hope GitHub starts taking things seriously. Rooting for them. Been working on open source projects for years and it truly feels like a different issue or outage is happening daily now. Curious to see where ghostty ends up moving to…

  @ForrestPKnight github is facing an unprecedented scaling problem due to ai and I feel bad for the team. I'm surprised somebody like Mitchell would make such a post having ran a company had to deal with similar scale

  Sure! This is their custom agentic CI setup at OpenClaw using GitHub webhooks/Actions + LLMs (like gpt-5.5 "Codex"). High-level steps to replicate: 1. Set up a GitHub webhook/Action on push that grabs the commit diff. 2. Feed diff + repo context to an LLM agent (ClawSweeper equivalent) for review. 3. If issues found, spin up another agent to generate a fix patch. 4. Use GitHub API to create a new branch + PR with the fix (Clownfish bot). 5. Trigger review agents on the PR; loop fixes up to 5x if needed (check relevance first). Use tools like LangGraph/CrewAI for orchestration, Octokit for GitHub API. Start simple with one Action calling OpenAI/xAI API. Their full system is internal—check OpenClaw repo for patterns. Want code skeleton?

  Finally got the MM strategy running on #EVPOLY for #Polymarket sports bets. ngl, burned hours on this. Web app wouldn't execute. GitHub Linux version threw errors. Thought it was broken. Turns out? A settings filter was blocking orders the entire time. One tweak → it works. Now racing the clock — 500K bonus rewards expire at 9PM tonight. Let's see what 12hrs of runtime can do.

  @kneath @github Are you aware of @gitlab ? If so, why doesn't that already solve the problems? (FWIW I'm also a curious and disgruntled engineer)

  Mehul Mohan (@mehulmpt) reported 15 minutes ago

  i can bet my entire net worth this would not happen. github would fix their infra long before any company tries to do this or achieves meaningful scale here. only exception to this is google releasing a VCS, which they will not.

  @thsottiaux 7 1/2 hour debug of a pipeline that did github issues -> multistep agent workflows (with iteration and quality gates), inside sandboxes in their own worktrees, with conflict resolution and auto-merging. I just thought it was a tiny bug (issues not aligning), but it kept going

  ok they didnt. but i did roll your own spotify with codex app server. built on background computer use (github below)

  @ExtremeBlitz__ I'm currently having the same issue with @github 🙄

• 
  Chris Scott (@greatscottdev) reported 23 minutes ago

  What?? This is interesting. I do use warp, not for any of the agent features. But I was one of the ones pushing to allow for custom local / endpoints. (github issues)

  Goli (@_golie_) reported 26 minutes ago

  @github is constantly down what are engineering teams using instead?

• 
  Max Musing (@MaxMusing) reported 28 minutes ago

  I never thought this would happen but we're actually considering migrating off GitHub too. I understand why the reliability issues are happening and I'm glad they're working on it, but it's actively affecting us at @Basedash (and our engineering team is literally 2 people).

  alkimiadev (@alkimiadev) reported 30 minutes ago

  I mostly don't care at all about some service having scale issues or not. That is literally their problem and not mine unless I allow it to be my problem. None of us owe github anything and we don'thave to give them any credit at all. Their scale issues are their problem and only yours if you choose to allow them to be. I self-host *** because I've never trusted Microsoft and by extension github but this basic idea extends to every service. If my email provider stops working I'm simply going to switch and not make up excuses justifying why the service went to crap. At that point it would be my fault because I stuck with a provider with known issues

  GitHub also published two incidents: - Apr 23 merge queue: 230 repos, 2,092 PRs got bad merge commits - Apr 27 search outage (Elasticsearch) And committed publicly to 30x capacity. Why? 90M PRs, 1.4B commits, 20M repos per month. Agentic workloads now drive scale.

  When GitHub launched, handing over your code to a server you don’t control felt reckless

  @mitchellh Github enterprise was a pain in the *** using it at Discord. Whole company just sitting around for half a day while it's down every 3 monday. Glad folks are jumping ship.

  void (@fit_fr_nothing) reported 35 minutes ago

  everything is now under my control. the problem for me is not relaiability coz I am not running oss project full time. many treat github as their archival source of truth of code and due to the Ai fication of github there is a high change your account gets nuked for no reason

• 
  Dastaan (@akhilsinghind) reported 35 minutes ago

  Risk might be real if isolation thing is weak, maybe read data or touch freakin pipelines. Pipeline is the real issue here. They are gonna patched it fast. Serious bug, but not total compromise. Github people can get this out of quickly.

  Diljot Mutti (@DiljotMutti) reported 36 minutes ago

  people are exaggerating the github issue firstly, there is no real alternative to github, for most of people *** is github and github is *** secondly, any sane platform would face hiccups if the usage scale goes 10x 25x or even more in fact it is impressive that the github kept the service up at all before you suggest gitlab, they are way worse github gitlab's best day is still worse than github's bad day

• 
  Panta (@thepanta82) reported 37 minutes ago

  @abdimoalim_ I somehow ended up using gitlab more than github throughout my career. It is kind of garbage-y (slow), but self hosted and powerful, with a good CI and package repository included.

  @wesbos stripped down github, no social bullshit.

  Mahmoud Nashef (@theNashef) reported 47 minutes ago

  @poldidawg @mitchellh I mean I'm sure he can do some non GitHub tasks for the time that it's down. But anyway I'm excited to see where this is going maybe we'll get something better

  @joshmanders Terrible take. It's clear GitHub > GitLab > abyss > BitBucket

  Kader (@abdelkader_mh) reported 49 minutes ago

  @mitchellh Mitchell, I think if Github allows people to buy a compute capacity guaranteed and available only for Github Actions it would probably solve your problem?

• 
  Jason Cox (@jasonbcox0) reported 50 minutes ago

  @james_mtc @stolinski Google handles over 100B emails per *day*. This is orders of magnitude larger scaling challenge than what these graphs show (and when you need a datacenter). Stackoverflow can do 50-200M requests/day on a single machine. COTS can serve a new Github no problem.

  Ru Chern Chong (@ruchernchong) reported 51 minutes ago

  @emil_priver I personally not experienced this level of outage for GitHub. I wonder if the problem is juxtaposed. I don’t see anyone except those on Twitter/X complaining too.

• 
  Jeremy (@QandAinPublic) reported 52 minutes ago

  @mkristensen GitHub supports running certain tests only across the code you changed. This single feature would save so much time, speed & make Devs more likely to seek quick feedback. An In-Memory Postgres dB would really help. I've noticed Test Discovery is never a problem now. Gui's fine.

  These days, when GitHub goes down — or Claude or OpenAI has an outage — software engineers basically grind to a halt.

• 
  C.J. May (@lawndoc) reported 57 minutes ago

  Sonia and Kyle were getting slowed down by PR reviews, so they decided to share a single VM and one GitHub account. Now Sonia can drive uninterrupted while Kyle sits back and pretends to pay attention the whole time. Great deal for Kyle, honestly.

  Wow— After 18 years of near-daily use, @mitchellh is moving Ghostty off GitHub. Persistent outages (Actions, PRs, issues, ***) have become unbearable he kept a month-long journal of near-daily disruptions Incremental move with a read-only mirror staying didn't think I'd ever see this day @github's reliability issues are driving creators away 😕
