Another picture, even more terrifying to me. I have no idea what this is about, was not informed, and now can't access anything, as a solo freelance dev with work to deliver. I am absolutely losing my mind here.

kinda' reminds me of that rumour that Hotmail (post-acquisition by Microsoft) refused to switch from BSD to Windows until Windows wasn't hot garbage then the Windows NT kernel was born and it was less terrible but GitHub here didn't refuse to switch to Azure ... :P

It’s kind of unavoidable when you get acquired by a big cloud provider. They just throw money at you to make the migration work

it can’t have been just the OS, this is basically a rewrite to use MS technologies from whatever hotmail was written in - like mod Perl or even just C++ concatenating html togerher.

gitlab has been just as dogshit over the last 6 months. I'm quite keen to find a non-shit, non-AI wankfest infested code hosting solution.

I read the latest post from the CTO about GitHub’s recent outages and it’s frankly embarrassing. Almost feels like ChatGPT wrote it. Totally disconnected from the concerns people have, simultaneously focused too much on the tech but also giving very few actual details about what’s going on.
