I remember the days when it was mostly Gitlab having issues.
Github was super stable - then it got shitty once they switched to React on the frontend instead of the server rendered pages, then Co-pilot stuff
lately I haven't heard them bragging about the Rails Monolith
- OtomotO 8mo agoThe question I ask myself to this day is why they began switching to React. It made no sense at all for me. Like it was a working product, so why would you switch? I get that new developers might be more familiar with React, but then again, as soon as the trade-offs were apparent, I would've pulled the plug. But they said: Buckle up, everyone, let's ruin our product!
- jamesfinlayson 8mo agoHm, I didn't realise they'd moved to React. I remember reading years ago that it used jQuery for the longest time but they put in some effort to move to pure Javascript (maybe using web components).
