Who's going to kick off the holy war around self hosting?
I'm seeing issues with repo pages entirely (getting Unicorn "We couldn't respond to your request in time" errors) but the status page hasn't updated to show that yet.
Bitbucket was down for a few hours a week ago and 0 fuss was made about it in the media. Atlassian stock actually went up over the ourage
This continues to be a regular thing for the past 5 years of outages and I've lost count of the many outages that GitHub continues to have since calling it. [0]
They're saying PRs and issues but I can't access github.com or github oauth for logging into external services. Need to migrate our org off of using github auth for anything critical I think, this is twice so far this year that we've had these issues.
The industry made a general decision after ZIRP ended to deprioritise availability after years of historic levels of engineering investment.
It's no surprise we're now feeling those effects but damn, GitHub and other services like Slack have been really bad lately.
If I'm not wrong, this is the third week in a row with GitHub incidents, isn't it?

The last few days, the “create pr” screen kept hanging for me. I figured out I could reload it, click “create”, grab a coffee, and then come back and it’d be at the next screen.
Maybe it’s time to learn their CLI (and then patiently wait for work to switch to another git service).
Maybe we can spend this downtime researching self-hosting options
I feel like it's not only GitHub... Slack is very slow, too.
It was me. Sorry. I just merged a PR and down it went :/
Why don't they make the AI fix it? Are they stupid?
It's not just PRs and issues, my build systems are breaking because I can't download tarballs for dependencies from github.
I think that's deepseek striking back.
Everything is slow. It takes several seconds to load any page, submit a comment, etc.
I honestly can't believe how unreliable Github is. Outages are commonplace. It boggles my mind how nothing has been done to address the reliability regressions that have been creeping in ever since MS took over.
Seems like it's back for me (and slow.. and now down again)
First incident of the year for github :tada:
Yep, PRs and Issues are affected https://www.githubstatus.com/
even the main github.com page seems down for me now (also getting the unicorn that others saw on their repo)
In a universe, where Obi-Wan Kenobi is a developer: "I felt a great disturbance in the workflow, as if millions of requests suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened."
I just tried to download Peazip, and immediately came here to check if 'this is just me'. Glad I'm not the only one.
meh.
As usual that will be fixed within the 10 to 600 mins.
I blame ai
There's a not-entirely-small part of me that hopes Issues breaks entirely for long enough that people at GitHub rethink their implementation.
GH issues have been so useful for the better part of a decade, that I have an empty repo called my_life just so I can make issues about things like home maintenance. In the last few months, the UI has become so slow and flaky that I don't use it for nearly as much as I used to. And when I have to for a project, it slows me down noticeably.
I thought I was alone in this, but asking around I found that this is a common frustration among developers I communicate regularly with.
