Classic Github for the past few years we are used to it / resilient now.

- logicchains 2y agoPresumably they intended to entertain. There are absolutely companies running much more complex services with more users than Github but better uptime, so it's absolutely fair to call Github out on their failures. Github has at least an order of magnitude fewer users than something like Google or Facebook. If your attitude is reflective of the attitude of anyone at Github, calling people entitled who dare complain about the site's downtime rather than taking responsibility and working to better it, it's no surprise that Github has so much downtime.
- cqqxo4zV46cp 2y agoYou’re being really mean. Do you work for GitHub? Or do you just have a habit of taking things too personally? “i bet you can’t do better!” is not how an adult responds to someone expressing their displeasure at the fact that the performance of a service that they / their org is almost certainly paying for is below their needs / expectations. Damn right I couldn’t do better. I’m also not the massive highly paid and talented workforce of GitHub. Next time you whinge about your mechanic not fixing your car or your plumber not fixing your toilet, I’ll be right there in your ear calling you a spoilt brat for not just doing it your damn self.
- miningape 2y ago100% we rely on others for goods and services, regardless of our ability to perform said service we are able to (and should be able to) judge it. Otherwise everyone would need to be an expert in everything. In other words, I don't need to be a banana farmer to say a banana is rotten.
- Shrezzing 2y ago>I therefore conclude that you are an entitled spoiled brat, or just an annoying person Or a paying client of GitHub's, venting their frustration that a business critical service is frequently encountering service outages.
- ta1243 2y ago> You make it sound like you are better at running a system at this scale with so many users. I don't care that the system scales to millions of people, my team is a dozen people, that's all I need something to do. And my downtime stats are far less that githubs, and they have never occurred during the working day. Nobody denies scaling is hard, they simply deny scaling is necessary.
- frognumber 2y agoScaling some things is hard. Scaling other things is easy. git hosting is easy to scale (a.k.a. github classic). Dozens of technologies integrate into a frankenmonster (a.k.a. github modern) is hard to scale. I like github projects, github co-pilot, CI/CD, etc. but I like stable github better.
- mft_ 2y agoI took it totally differently (it was humerous, with a hint of irony I'd expect a Brit[0] to appreciate): that due to Github's lack of resilience, the poster has had to become resilient in their own daily practice. [0] > 'bloody annoying'
