Word on the street is github was already a giant mess before the rise of LLMs, and it has not improved with the move to MS.

They are also in the process of moving most of the infra from on-prem to Azure. I'm sure will see more issues over the next couple months.

I don't know anything about githubs codebase, but as a user, their software has many obvious deficiencies. The most glaring being performance. Oh my God, github performs like absolute shit on large repos and big diffs.

Performance issues always scare me. A lot of the time it's indicative of fragile systems. Like with a lot of banking software - the performance is often bad because the software relies on 10 APIs to perform simple tasks.

I doubt this is the case with GitHub, but it still makes you wonder about their code and processes. Especially when it's been a problem for many years, with virtually no improvement.
