GitHub’s reputation for reliability really did a 180 after the Microsoft acquisition, as some predicted. It’s strange to me that despite this, you still get vociferous argument every step of the way to blaming Microsoft. People don’t remember GitHub’s past reputation for excellent reliability, then they accuse you of rose tinted glasses, then they say we’re just noticing it more now, then they say GitHub’s complexity significantly changed at a time that just happened to coincide with the acquisition, then they say better reliability is impossible. No, man, Microsoft acquired it, and when they got around to transitioning it to their infra, reliability plummeted.
