“It’s not because of outages” - goes on to complain about outages. The outages might be due to AI load, but that’s to relevant because your leaving isn’t due to outages. Even though the article is primarily about outages. If you have a problem with your code being scanned for AI training, then write that article. But this article is about outages.

I think a lot of people within the US don't realize how badly US is seen from the outside, especially from "allies". Illegal tariffs, threatening tariffs, NATO sabotage, threatening invasion, abandoning Ukraine, supporting Russia. It's not just one guy doing this, he has a whole party behind him that could reel him in any second.

  I feel bad for Europe. They are pining for a world that no longer exists and lack the power (and, more importantly, the will) to do anything about it. I can imagine an alternate history in which Tim Berners-Lee founds an internet giant in Europe that dominates the 21st century. Imagine a European Google with a search monopoly, a smartphone (from Nokia), and a social network (Xing? Mastodon?). But of course, Sir Timothy never wanted that. Alas, we're on a different timeline. I wish I were a young man so I could live to see how it all turns out.

it's about GitHub's issues in general, including outages. every section gets somewhat equal amount of attention

  The section named “Why outages aren't actually the reason” never tells me why outages aren’t the reason. It just continues taking about outages. I’ll admit I got tired of reading about outages and didn’t absorb the remainder of the article well.

    the article is strongly triggering my LLM writing detector, which makes me question if any of it is accurate or genuine

Of course not. It's trendy and a great way to virtue signal right now. GitHub is the target of the latest "go woke, go broke" "decentralization!" cycle. Their recent issues dealing with 30x load just made them a highly visible target. Just skimming the comments on the internet and you see the same flavor of dumb, false narratives like "everyone is leaving GitHub" "too bad GitHub is in decline". Meanwhile the vast, vast majority of people using GitHub for "getting shit done", while maybe impacted and unhappy with the outages, are not clamoring to move to Web3.0 forge-bro tech.
