bunnysynthesis 🐰🪴 (@bunnyauras) reported@alphabitserial i guess github has bigger issues tho like its 12% downtime LMAO
-
Tankuuuuu (@PI_PA_GAO) reportedI just realised that I write GitHub issues comments like I'm writing video game patch notes.
-
Faith beacon (@faithbeacon1234) reported@Microsoft @satyanadella FIX GITHUB MICROSLOP
-
Hamxa (@athamxa) reportedgithub oauth down. cloud run failing to read commits and build revisions
-
Florian Z (@f10et) reportedAlso @github please fix your ****. It’s getting unbearable.
-
Evil Todd Howard (@florbosagbag) reportedI want to understand if the problem is “I googled <name of app> and only saw GitHub”, or if there is a tool that you need packaged that may be in more common usage than distro or Flathub maintainers realize.
-
Forrest Knight (@ForrestPKnight) reportedI'm tired of the narrative around GitHub about them facing unprecedented scale from AI agents, so we must cut them slack. These issues started LONG before this started happening. What about all of the downtime last year? Or the year before that? Or almost every single year since Microsoft acquired GitHub? Can't use the same excuse and expect grace. There's no denying the fact that they are facing unprecedented scale, but there's obviously a bigger issue here that needs to be fixed. So stop gaslighting the public into thinking it's simply due to increased traffic. It's not. And I don't think there would be as much blow back if Microsoft and GitHub weren't on the "AI can do your job" train, laying off thousands of devs, then saying "oh no, AI is the reason our product isn't working." Because wait a minute, I thought AI was supposed to FIX all of these issues, not cause them. So which is it?
-
May Greenfield (@Smiley_Gate) reported@booletgopew @planefag The problem with github is it's not consistent where the download option is. It tends to be wherever the developer themself puts it and they all have different ideas on where it should go.
-
Yasha (@Yasha_br) reported@alihd_js Github is down 99% of the time these days for a reason...
-
Friendly shade (@Friendly_Shade7) reported@planefag all the comment here just show how dense and elitist people are about github as well as completely missing the point on the issue, yes, github is for dev's, and its fine to stay that way, but then dev's need to stop using github for downloads for regular users
-
Mike Key (@1337hero) reportedWith all the github issues as of late, I think it's time to look at the open source self hosted options and stick on my VPS.
-
Salman Hossain Saif (@imsaif71) reportedExactly, it’s like people with thousands of slop repo freely hosted on #github , crying for GitHub outage. Ask your slop agent “how to get a life and be grateful”
-
Josh (@joshmanders) reported@juemrami @johncrickett GitHub was very much architected to handle this scale. The problem is Microsoft is putting their resources into trying to be THE AI company, so GitHub is slipping. Very evident in the fact that they haven't found a new CEO for GitHub and don't show any signs to be trying to. A ship with no captain will succumb to the seas violent ways.
-
Anubhav (@anubhavlive) reportedThe magic? "Oz agents" that can triage issues, write specs, implement code changes, and even review PRs, right inside your terminal workflow. No more constant context switching between terminal, IDE, GitHub, and ChatGPT. It feels like the terminal finally grew up and hired a team of AI interns that actually ship.
-
Lev Smolsky (@levtechs) reported@mattjay Why is GitHub so essential to everyone's workflow? if it is down just don't push and do it later
-
rcoll1 (@rcoll1_brisbane) reported@Bad_Tweet_Man Coding, like art, is an industry where you lead with your portfolio. Nobody gives a damn if you have a degree if your code is a patchwork of If statements to mask error handling. Don't go to coding school before you've built something and put it on GitHub.
-
xavier lois (@xavierlois) reported@DataChaz Built that months ago with github issues and local runners ... I hope the cursor solution is better because it was painfully slow ...
-
⬣PulseChain LIVE⬣ 💥 (@PulseChainLIVE) reported@keithtyser @aijoey what`s the problem ? We can help. Are you familiar with @SpaceTimeViking work ? I bet you`ll find the fix on his HF and GitHub pages.
-
Chadspivack (@chad_spivack) reported@Lovable I reached out to support on Sunday about a GitHub connection issue. The AI agent said my issue was escalated to the support team. I have received no further update and it is now Thursday.
-
John Crickett (@johncrickett) reported"GitHub's scale is unprecedented." No, it really isn't. GitHub: 150M total users. Office 365: 345M total users. Xbox: 500M monthly active users. Bing: 100M+ daily active users. The company that runs Office, Xbox and Bing can run GitHub. If reliability is slipping, that's a priorities problem, not a scale problem.
-
Douglas Camata (@douglascamata) reportedI think GitHub is handling the load just fine. From what I see, what’s breaking them are bugs. A bunch of random HTTP 500 error pages, UI breaking because async api requests fail, and things that should happen just silently not happening. GitHub is not slow in my experience. It’s buggy.
-
Gökberk (@gokmakes) reported@MariusMollerH I’m seeing the same behavior on my end. GitHub events are coming through, but Cloud Build triggers aren’t firing at all. Might be an issue on Google Cloud side?
-
IvarBlaize (@blaizeivare) reported@News_Arena_ I didn't you Termux to create the first agent i used GitHub so how is it possible to use Termux to verify because it's not working for me
-
fj (@fjzeit) reportedi think the entire “copilot” brand is a bit broken now. microsoft have managed to turn people away from windows, away from github, and now away from copilot. clearly copiloting is not an llm strength. attendant would be a better perspective.
-
DeMar (@punk1376) reportedIs the GitHub Copilot agent that has access to your codebase "inside" or "outside"? Is the third-party AI integration calling your API a "user" or an "autonomous actor"? The categories break down.
-
Laurentiu (@Bitheap_tech) reportedGitHub is in a terrible state right now. How much are you willing to endure before switching to a better, more reliable platform like Codeberg?
-
shrigma.base.eth (@shrigmuh) reported@koolkrows @MemeLiquidio Can you show me a single issue memeliquid has responded to and fixed in their Github?
-
Spykeō (スパイケオ) (@Spyk3O) reported@planefag GitHub does objectively have terrible UI
-
Darrell (@darrellprograms) reported@xatzimi1 @ShitpostRock2 The mistake was made in the other direction: Github is not forbidding enough to people who aren't interested in the source code. A big green download button would further attract malware and other pollution, something that's already a problem because of end-user links in README.
-
Transform Labs (@TransformLabsHQ) reported4/ GitHub isn't alone. Every AI vendor faces the same unit economics problem. Expect this pricing shift across Cursor, ChatGPT Enterprise, Jasper, and every other AI tool in your stack. This isn't an outlier, it's the new normal.
