Obviously, if this is true, the team at GitHub is failing to scale their infra to meet the workload demands.

Seems like it would be increasingly difficult to make a case for switching to GitHub.
87.85% of across-the-board availability for the month of February. Maybe March will be even lower.
feels like it's a race to the bottom here, and gitlab is starting to look even more appealing as the 9s disappear from github's uptime numbers.
Github's always had reliability issues. They tend to have these 'seasons' of downtime. It's been like this for years.

Unless you're unemployed ATM, what is happening throughout corporate America is forcing employees to use LLM tools or get fired. It's hard to not see the connection, big tech offerings were already shit before but since all these mandates it's gotten noticeability worse.
You don't get to back away from the LLM damage when you were making the media rounds telling everyone to use these tools. This is a direct result of using these tools: decaying code, rotten services, and putrid responses.
For the stability issues, I see it more as a potential tenuous link between having to hyper accelerate the Azure moves with a "you have no excuses because AI makes everything easier" sentiment from above, and then the more obvious literal situation of devs maybe vibecoding infra changes.
No evidence of the latter, just the likelihood, given the incentives.
