how is it in just five years microsoft has managed to pedal this once vibrant and bustling community of developers and creatives into a roaring dumpster fire of sketcky GPL breaking copilot AI and endless seemingly random outages.

github has had 55 outages in 3 months. thats nearly an outage every two days.

the last six months of 2022 had 74 outages. In many shops thats tangibly worse than what their local greybeard Linux admin maintains.

arguments against spinning up my own gitlab/gitea/jenkins/whatever in podman under systemd are starting to ring pretty hollow lately.

I mean Github Actions was released 5 years ago[0]. I imagine the infrastructure for actions is more susceptible to outages than the fairly simple features Github offered previously. It makes sense that the number of outages would increase with the additional complexity in the infrastructure.

comments like these are what end up incentivizing companies to hide outages and report all green all the time
