All this hate directed at github feels odd, every time I look into people complaining, or moving their projects off, other than a few related to genuine bugs, many just seem ideological. This article, calling it a crime against software? ... It's just silly. The article itself is a crime against articles, barely readable, weird ass colors. It mostly seems a regurgitation of other peoples complaints and mostly overblown.

We've been using github for a while at our company and find it really good. Copilot reviews are good, we have actions that work every single time, everything just works really well. There are, of course, plenty of things that could be improved, but it's still top dog in this space. I think maybe a couple of times there's been an outage that's affected us for a small amount of time. Overall, it's a good product.

That was a laughable idea before they had achieved an average of 1 outage per day. It has serious, terminal, product manager rot.

where are you getting that information from? see https://www.githubstatus.com/ uptimes are really high. This is kind of exactly what I'm talking about, people are over exaggerating problems with github for some weird reason. Working with github daily, I haven't even noticed down time expect maybe once or twice in the last year or so.
