I remember the days when it was mostly Gitlab having issues.

Github was super stable - then it got shitty once they switched to React on the frontend instead of the server rendered pages, then Co-pilot stuff

lately I haven't heard them bragging about the Rails Monolith

The question I ask myself to this day is why they began switching to React. It made no sense at all for me. Like it was a working product, so why would you switch?

I get that new developers might be more familiar with React, but then again, as soon as the trade-offs were apparent, I would've pulled the plug.

But they said: Buckle up, everyone, let's ruin our product!

Promotion-driven development happens at Microsoft just like any other big tech company.

Hm, I didn't realise they'd moved to React. I remember reading years ago that it used jQuery for the longest time but they put in some effort to move to pure Javascript (maybe using web components).
