- hunkins 3y agoI love their product, I just wish I could rely on it. I hope they pause on new features (we don't need social on our code) and focus on stability.
- okdood64 3y agoI wonder what Microsoft's level of involvement is in their infrastructure/reliability engineering; and whether that's made things better or worse.
- rvz 3y agoI mean, it is so unreliable that you would get better uptime than GitHub if you self-hosted your own Git repository instead of use GitHub. Even open-source projects like RedoxOS, GNOME, KDE, ReactOS, etc are doing just fine without worrying about GitHub's unreliability. Better than 'centralizing everything to GitHub' as I predicted years ago. [0] [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22867803 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22867803
- okdood64 3y agoI worked at a small unicorn (~150 engineers when I started, 400 when I left) several years ago; we ran our own Github Enterprise solely for this reason. It was a pain in the ass to set-up, but mostly hand-off to keep it running. I think we had roughly one degradation event a year (something went wrong with an update), and they were brief.
