It doesn't seem fair to blame Github for this? There's nothing they can do about it?

The pattern recently is to collect every individual service degradation and present them as all equally significant.

Erase the severity and then present them all as “GitHub outages” or reduce it to an uptime graph.

I’m not happy with GitHub’s recent major outages either, but there is an ugly side of the pile-on where we’re getting these vibecoded attention seeking websites and social media posts to collect upvotes, likes, karma, and attention that blur the lines between small service degradations and total site outages to be more dramatic.

Every time a github outage is posted I start wondering more and more what % of hacker news commenters have actually worked on a system with >10k active hosts and have seen what it takes to run them and how internal dashboards are presented. So much of the criticism just makes 0 sense especially the third party uptime pages.

To me this makes it uninteresting. Degraded preformance of hyperscalers seems off topic to bundle with e.g. github.com availability. I think the author just wanted the chart to be as red as possible.

I think it is fair to blame Github if they repackage other services. We run a much smaller service than Github and have all sort of fallbacks to different providers and different models.

[collinmanderson]

Github Copilot also lets you use other models when one has an outage.

But Github also allows you do fallback to other models...

[lenerdenator]

Depends on who's hosting the models.
