The quality and performance of GitHub enterprise has degraded horribly this year. Their problems are self-inflicted and influx is just an excuse. Despite minimal new features, and drastically increasing hardware resources to keep up, self-hosted GitHub enterprise went from things being instant to most requests taking many seconds. And activity on issues in one repository tends to mysteriously re-open issues with the same number in other repositories. I think they are vibe coding and facing the consequences.

Please let this not be true :( I mean nothing against vibe coding for hobby and assisting you when you get stuck, but at something important like Github they should have hooks to stop low-quality commits and repeated CI-breaking or issue causing should automatically restrict accounts at such companies I think. Do you think they have such measures in place? I remember when my indention wasn't spotless our university rejected my commits or if my function complexity was too high.. Tears in my eyes.. I think it was called Gerrit Code Review.

  It’s become clear to me that any company acquired by Microsoft should be avoided. All software dev is hard. Software dev within a huge organization is damned hard. And Microsoft is SO HUGE and has so much infighting and finger pointing going on that they’re now, as far as I’m concerned, incapable (let alone unwilling) to ship good software. No faith left. None. They turn everything into a quagmire.

    Come on now let’s be fair. They couldn’t possibly fix all of GitHub‘s bugs and deployment problems while maintaining their breakneck pace of mission critical feature deployments. You know, probably something sexy like replacing Win11’s maximize, minimize and close buttons with a chat prompt where you can just tell copilot what you want the window to do.
